Burbank

Probate & divorce real estate in Burbank

Calm, clear guidance for executors, trustees, heirs and divorcing couples selling or keeping a home in Burbank.

Burbank

Local knowledge that protects you

Burbank is its own city at the east end of the Valley, home to major studios and well-kept neighborhoods, from the foothills to the Magnolia Park area and the flats near the studios.

Because Burbank is a separate city, its rules and taxes differ from the City of Los Angeles next door, and that matters when a home is sold in a probate, a trust or a divorce.

I'm a Certified Probate & Trust Specialist, licensed since 2002. I work with your attorney, CPA and lender, and I lead every step personally. Read more about probate & trust sales or selling a home in a divorce.

Selling in Burbank

What's different in Burbank

A separate city

Burbank is not part of the City of Los Angeles, so the City of Los Angeles transfer taxes don't apply. I confirm the exact costs and city requirements for your address.

Questions

Common questions

New to some of these terms? See the plain-English glossary.

Does the City of Los Angeles transfer tax apply in Burbank?

No. Burbank is a separate city, so the City of Los Angeles transfer taxes do not apply. The county transfer tax does. I confirm the exact costs for your address.

Can our Burbank divorce sale stay private?

Yes. I can market the home quietly, with private showings, while both spouses and both attorneys receive the same information at the same time.

Should we keep the house until the kids finish school?

Sometimes that's the right choice, with a clear written agreement and an exit date. My Affordability Calculator shows what keeping it costs each month.
