Niles, IL estates & probate attorney Dana Zivkovich talks about the types of services she offers in the area of real estate law. She observes that nearly every client who comes to the firm has some connection to real estate—whether through ownership, residence, buying, or selling. Real estate consistently plays a central role in the firm’s primary practice areas of probate, estate administration, and estate planning, where addressing the treatment of property is often a key consideration.

When real estate becomes part of an estate, it frequently needs to be either sold or transferred to beneficiaries. This may occur through the probate court process or, in some cases, through a standard sales transaction. As part of estate administration, she and her firm manage the conveyance or disposition of real estate to ensure it is handled properly and in accordance with the decedent’s wishes.
