Buying a home from a conservatorship in San Diego County is much the same as going through the Probate process with the exception that the conservatee is still alive and well, just unable to care for themselves or their affairs.  In this case, the court appoints a conservator for the person and the estate--these roles can be combined for one person or the jobs can be done by two individuals.

When purchasing a home through a general conservatorship, there is a process the conservator must go through before offering the property for sale to the general public.  After the court appoints the conservator, letters will be filed and then there must be an accounting for the estate.  In addition, the probate referee will need to establish the value of the home and once this is done, they will also publish the notice of intent to sell the property.

Once the home goes on the market, the conservator may accept an offer--written on the probate contract--but, it will be subject to overbid and court confirmation.  It must also be understood by the buyers that there will be only very limited disclosures and the sale will be As Is--with no repairs or allowances.  Therefore, financing options will be limited depending upon the condition of the property.

The property I have listed at 704 Tarento Drive in Point Loma is being sold through a conservatorship and it is presently in the phase of waiting for the probate referee to assign value and publish the notice to sell.  Therefore, the listing price is subject to change.
