Denver Probate Delays and What Heirs Need to Know Now

Hey, I'm Kevin Lundy with The HomeBridge Group Brokered by eXp Realty, and if you're an heir to an estate here in the Denver area, there's something you really need to hear right now. Probate in Denver County is backed up. We're talking six months to over a year in some cases just to get through the court process, and that's before you've dealt with the property itself. So if you think you're going to wrap this up quickly, you need to reset those expectations. Here's what families run into. They're already grieving, they're already stressed, and then you add disagreements between heirs about whether to sell, whether to keep the home, what it's worth, what shape it's in. That back and forth costs time, and in a backed-up probate system, time is money. The practical move is to get everyone on the same page now, before the court process forces your hand. That means having a clear plan, understanding your choices, and knowing what the property situation actually looks like. Not guessing. Not assuming. Knowing. The families that come through this the steadiest are the ones who started the conversation early and stayed respectful with each other even when it got hard. If you're in that situation and want to talk it through, I'm here. Reach out when you're ready.
