Great advice, Snowy. My step-father (SF) wasn’t even cold when a developer contacted me and made an offer over the phone for 25% more than the appraised value. Heirs are saying I should have sold already and SF isn’t even in the ground yet! I’m suspicious of the ridiculous offer and look forward to receiving it in writing and reading all of the hidden conditions. Right now, I’m trying to figure out if I need a real estate lawyer, an estate lawyer or both.

Be careful. In the first year of my loss several people came at me from different directions to take advantage. They made it look like their motive was out of concern but their main interest was in my property. What I learned was people really covet property. I didn't fall for any of it.

Both wouldn’t hurt. Look for ones that will give you a free consultation.

From all I’ve seen of your posts over the years the heirs need to thank their lucky stars you are in charge. Nothing brings out greed quicker than possible inheritance. Wishing you strength and good guidance and the ability to come out the other side with a sense of peace and the ability to really enjoy life!

I found a lawyer who was excellent in both real estate and estates.

He was expensive, but less than two separate lawyers would have been.
