The Common Situation
Your parents or relative lived in Parker for years. Now you've inherited their home, but you live 1,000+ miles away with your own life, job, and family. The house is sitting vacant. You're worried about it and unsure how to proceed.
Immediate Steps from Afar
Winterize If Needed
Parker winters are cold. Keep heat at 55°F minimum or hire a local service to winterize. Burst pipes in vacant homes cause major damage.
Notify the HOA
Most Parker communities have HOAs. Contact them about the ownership change and any vacant property requirements. They may need to update their records.
Forward Mail & Secure
Set up mail forwarding, ask a neighbor to watch the property, and consider changing locks. A local handyman can do a security check for you.
Handling Probate Remotely
Douglas County probate can be handled largely by phone, email, and mail:
- • Hire a local attorney: They file paperwork and attend hearings
- • Sign documents remotely: Use notaries in your state or remote notarization
- • Court appearances: Attorney can appear on your behalf
- • Most probates don't require hearings: Informal probate is paperwork-only
