# How do I approach a homeowner in probate without being intrusive?

When someone is in probate, they’re likely juggling legal, financial, and emotional challenges. Use care and clarity in your approach. 

| Option 1: Be Clear and Respectful About Your Role 
/You can gently reference the probate process and position yourself as someone who understands the unique hurdles they’re facing. 
You might say: 
*“I saw that you’re listed as the personal representative in a probate case. I know managing a property during probate can be complicated. I specialize in helping people through the real estate side of this process, things like maintenance, valuation, and preparation if a sale is needed. No pressure, just support.”* 

This approach: 
* Acknowledges their legal role with respect 
* Emphasizes your experience and resources 
* Keeps the focus on helping, not selling 

| Option 2: Offer Property Help Without Mentioning Probate 
If you're unsure how comfortable they are discussing the probate directly, focus on the property and your solutions. 
You might say: 

*“I work with properties that are going through transition and noticed this one may be in that category. I help families with options like cleanup, cleanout, valuation, and coordinating with legal teams if needed. I’d be happy to answer any questions or offer support if it’s helpful.”*
