New Book Helps Families Navigate Real Estate Challenges During Probate
Miami, United States, July 31, 2025 -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MIAMI, FL - July 31, 2025 - Inheriting a home after the death of a loved one is one of the most common and emotionally charged situations many families face. Yet few people know what to do when legal processes, real estate, and family dynamics all converge. A new book by South Florida Realtor and Certified Probate Specialist Brett Adams offers straightforward answers.
Navigating Probate for Families: Essential Information for Executors and Heirs provides clear, practical guidance for anyone managing an inherited home. Instead of legal jargon, the book offers real-world insights drawn from Adams' personal involvement and extensive hands-on work with families and probate properties across South Florida.
'Most people only go through probate once in their lives,' said Adams. 'There's no guide handed to you when someone passes away, but the paperwork, deadlines, and financial risks still show up. I wanted to create something families could read and truly use, without intimidation or confusion.'
According to the Federal Reserve, more than $68 trillion will transfer from baby boomers to their heirs by 2045 — a historic shift in generational wealth. Much of that inheritance is tied to real estate, and many properties go through probate, often causing delays and uncertainty for families trying to move forward.
Navigating Probate for Families is designed for everyday people, not attorneys, and answers the most common and difficult questions families ask, including:
- What to do first when a loved one passes away and real estate is involved
- When a home can or cannot be sold during probate
- How to resolve disagreements between siblings or heirs
- When court approval is needed to transfer or sell a property
- What to do with out-of-state or distressed properties
- How to manage homes held in a trust or jointly titled
- How the stepped-up basis affects taxes when selling an inherited home
The book includes timelines, checklists, real-world scenarios, and advice that reflect the author's background in helping families across Miami and South Florida.
Navigating Probate for Families: Essential Information for Executors and Heirs is available now on Amazon for just 99 cents as a limited-time launch offer. More details about the book and author can be found at www.navigatingprobate.com and www.BrettSellsMiami.com

Global Markets Rise on Fed Rate-Cut Hopes
U.S. stock futures rose, tracking the higher close on Wall Street Monday after investors scooped up stocks at lower valuations following last week's falls. Also boosting sentiment, rising expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in September as President Trump moves to make some key hires in the Fed's governing board and at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, there's a new trade deadline on Thursday with some countries still racing to renegotiate tariffs. Switzerland, threatened with a 39% rate, said it is prepared to make concessions to lower it. Earnings today come from Fox, Pfizer and Kellogg, and later from News Corp, AMD and Amgen.

Dollar weakens as rate cut odds rise, tariff uncertainties linger
The U.S. dollar wavered on Tuesday as the rising odds of Federal Reserve rate cuts weighed on sentiment, while investors assessed the broader economic impact of U.S. tariffs unleashed last week. The dollar remained under pressure following Friday's U.S. jobs report that showed cracks in the labor market, prompting traders to swiftly price in rate cuts next month. U.S. President Donald Trump's firing of a top statistics official and the resignation of Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler also exacerbated market unease, leading to a sharp dive in the dollar on Friday. The U.S. currency found its footing on Monday but was weaker in early trading on Tuesday. The euro last bought $1.1579 while sterling stood at $1.3298. The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six other units, was at 98.688 after touching a one-week low earlier in the session. Traders are now pricing in a 94.4% chance of the Fed cutting rates in its next meeting in September, compared to 63% a week earlier, CME FedWatch tool showed. Goldman Sachs expects the Fed to deliver three consecutive 25 basis point cuts starting in September, with a 50 basis point move possible if the unemployment rate climbs further in the next report. San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly said on Monday that given mounting evidence that the U.S. jobs market is softening and no signs of persistent tariff-driven inflation, the time is nearing for rate cuts. "I was willing to wait another cycle, but I can't wait forever," Daly said. Meanwhile, the focus remains on tariff uncertainties after the latest duties imposed on scores of countries last week by Trump, stoked worries about the health of the global economy. The Japanese yen firmed slightly to 146.95 per dollar after minutes of its June policy meeting showed a few Bank of Japan board members said the central bank would consider resuming interest rate increases if trade frictions de-escalate. The Swiss franc was steady at 0.8081 per dollar after dropping 0.5% in the previous session as Switzerland geared up to make a "more attractive offer" in trade talks with Washington to avert a 39% U.S. import tariff on Swiss goods that threatens to hammer its export-driven economy. The long-term impact of the tariffs though remains uncertain, with traders bracing for volatility. "This is going to be like the pandemic, we all expect to see the transitory impact on supply chains to happen very quickly," said Rodrigo Catril, currency strategist at National Australia Bank in Sydney. "It'll probably take six months to a year to see exactly where we land and who's going to be winners and losers from all this." In other currencies, the Australian dollar was 0.11% higher at $0.64736, while the New Zealand dollar rose 0.11% to $0.5914. "We're still of a view that the big dollar is heading down," Catril said, referring to the U.S. dollar. "While global growth means pro-growth currencies like Asian currencies and the AUD should struggle, we've other structural dynamics in the USD, where policies are dollar-negative."

Asian shares track rally on Wall Street that won back most of Friday's wipeout
BANGKOK -- Asian shares advanced on Tuesday, following U.S. stocks higher after they won back most of their sharp loss from last week. Investors appeared to have recovered some confidence after worries over how President Donald Trump's tariffs may be punishing the economy sent a shudder through Wall Street last week. At the same time, a stunningly weak U.S. jobs report Friday raised expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its next meeting in September, potentially a plus for markets. This week's highlights will likely include earnings reports from The Walt Disney Co., McDonald's and Caterpillar, along with updates on U.S. business activity. In Asian trading, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index gained 0.6% to 40,515.81, while the Kospi in South Korea jumped 1.4% to 3,192.57. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng rose 0.3% to 24,799.67. The Shanghai Composite index was up 0.5% at 3,602.13. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 jumped 1.1% to 8,759.90, while the SET in Thailand also gained 1.1%. India's Sensex was the sole outlier, losing 0.5% on concerns over trade tensions with the United States, with the Trump administration insisting on cutbacks in oil purchases from Russia. India has indicated that it will continue buying oil from Russia, saying its relationship with Moscow was 'steady and time-tested,' and that its stance on securing its energy needs is guided by the availability of oil in the markets and prevailing global circumstances. 'Trump's threats of 'substantial' tariff hikes on account of imports of Russian crude pose a quagmire for India,' Mizuho Bank said in a commentary. 'Between exacerbated U.S.-imposed geo-economic headwinds and financial/macro setbacks from Russian oil advantages lost, pain will be hard to avert.' On Monday, the S&P 500 jumped 1.5% to 6,329.94. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.3%, or 585.06 points, to 44,173.64. The Nasdaq composite leaped 2% to 21,053.58. Idexx Laboratories helped Wall Street recover from its worst day since May, soaring 27.5% after the seller of veterinary instruments and other health care products reported a stronger profit for the spring than analysts expected. The pressure is on U.S. companies to deliver bigger profits after their stock prices shot to record after record recently. Reports from big U.S. companies have largely come in better than expected and could help steady a U.S. stock market that may have been due for some turbulence. A jump in stock prices from a low point in April had raised criticism that the broad market had become too expensive. Tyson Foods likewise delivered a bigger-than-expected profit for the latest quarter, and the company behind the Jimmy Dean and Hillshire Farms brands rose 2.4%. They helped make up for a nearly 3% loss for Berkshire Hathaway after Warren Buffett's company reported a drop in profit for its latest quarter from a year earlier. The drop-off was due in part to the falling value of its investment in Kraft Heinz. American Eagle Outfitters jumped 23.6% after Trump weighed in on the debate surrounding the retailer's advertisements, which highlight actor Sydney Sweeney's great jeans. Some critics thought the reference to the blonde-haired and blue-eyed actor's 'great genes' may be extolling a narrow set of beauty standards. 'Go get 'em Sydney!' Trump said on his social media network. Wayfair climbed 12.7% after the retailer of furniture and home decor said accelerating growth helped it make more in profit and revenue during the spring than analysts expected. Tesla rose 2.2% after awarding CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares of restricted stock valued at approximately $29 billion. The move could alleviate worries that Musk may leave the company. In other dealings early Tuesday, U.S. benchmark crude oil shed 9 cents to $66.20 per barrel while Brent crude, the international standard, gave up 8 cents to $68.68 per barrel. The U.S. dollar was unchanged at 147.09 Japanese yen. The euro slipped to $1.1555 from $1.1573.
