Niles, IL estates & probate attorney Dana Zivkovich talks about the types of services she offers in the area of real estate law. Nearly every client who walks into the firm has some connection to real estate, whether through ownership, residency, selling, or buying. Real estate is a significant factor in many cases. Within the firm’s primary practice areas—probate, estate administration, and estate planning—there is always a need to address how real estate is handled, especially when it is part of an estate.

When real estate is involved in an estate, it often needs to be sold or conveyed to the beneficiaries. This can be done through the probate court process or, in some cases, through a sales transaction. As part of estate administration, the firm oversees the conveyance or disposal of real estate properties.
