Q: Can a house in probate be saved from foreclosure?

A: Yes.  While foreclosure and probate are no strangers to one another, it is absolutely possible to save a house that's part of a probate estate from foreclosure.  There are two ways for an executor or administrator to save real estate facing foreclosure.  First, the executor can access cash in the probate estate to bring the loan current.  Second, if the probate estate doesn't have enough cash then the executor can have his or her probate attorney go to court and get a temporary restraining order to stop the sale and give the executor some time to sell the real estate.
