Any Probate Case can take YEARS!!! Especially if the family members don't like each other.

Get out while you can.

Looking for advice on the above listing. We learned from the broker today that Disney alerted them regarding this contract needing to go through probate before it can be sold. We are able to back out of sale or we can wait it out. Do any of you have experience with this? What would you do?

There are other contracts to be had. The only way I would agree to wait for probate is
1. I didnt any immediate need for the points.
2. Id only proceed if they knocked the price down a significant amount , I wouldn't even bother with price per point reduction, I would ask them to cover all closing costs and no reimbursement of MF at all.

edit to add: I just read other responses. Maybe best to back out. I had bought one going through probate but it was basically almost done with the process when I bought, so if it can take a long time not worth it.

phsm---$90-$19985-210-AKV-Apr-0/24, 0/25, 210/26, 210/27- sent 12/28, passed 1/13

excited to finally be dvc members, the $90/pt felt risky, but happy it went thru!

Oh man, I would agree with others to back out. Probate can be a REAL nightmare.

as others have said, I would run. there are other contracts out there, though I know it must feel frustrating to start the search over.

I'd run from the probate as well. My mother's was VERY straight forward and it took 8 months once we filed it.
