Divorce, Trust, Estate and Probate Home Sales
The Betts Team sells homes during divorces and for trusts, estates and probate cases across Central Iowa. We stay neutral, keep both sides informed, and work alongside your attorneys, trustees or personal representatives so the sale follows the court order, trust or estate plan. We do not give legal or tax advice.

Questions
Specialty sales FAQ
Can we sell our house before the divorce is final?
Often yes, depending on your agreement or court order. Your attorneys decide what is allowed; we handle the sale within those terms.
Do you work with out-of-state executors?
Yes. We regularly manage the whole process locally, from clean-out to closing, with updates by phone, email and video.
Does a probate sale need court approval in Iowa?
It depends on the will and how the estate is opened. Your estate attorney will confirm what is required; we work on their timeline.
