Скачать или смотреть You Just Inherited a House: Sell, Rent or Move In? | Andrew De Vries

Thinking of renting out a home you just inherited? On the surface, it may seem like a simple way to generate income—but for fiduciaries, the decision carries serious risks.

In this video, I explain the legal, financial, and long-term implications of renting out a trust or estate property—especially in the Bay Area, where tenant protections are among the strongest in the nation. What can appear to be a safe, short-term move can ultimately reduce the estate’s value by six figures or more.

Key topics covered in this video:
• Why rental income rarely outperforms a full-market sale
• The Bay Area’s complex tenant laws and how they impact fiduciaries
• How tenant occupancy can lower property value by $100K or more
• Real-world examples comparing rent vs. sale outcomes
• Deferred maintenance and access limitations with tenants
• A fiduciary’s duty to protect and maximize estate value

If you’re a trustee, executor, conservator, or family member managing inherited real estate, it’s essential to understand what you’re taking on before deciding to rent. This isn’t just about income—it’s about risk, liability, and the estate’s long-term health.
