## Frequently asked questions

### What does HCS mean by a probate loan?

Its [FAQ](https://hcsequity.com/frequently-asked-questions/) describes financing secured by estate-owned real estate during probate, made to the estate through its authorized representative.

### Can financing support a sibling buyout?

HCS lists beneficiary equalization among its uses for trust and estate financing. The appropriate borrower, authority, structure, and distribution must be reviewed for the specific matter.

### What documents does HCS say it requests for a trust loan?

Its FAQ lists the complete trust, a trust or estate tax ID, property insurance, successor-trustee information, a beneficiary-consent or attorney-opinion letter, and a repayment plan. Confirm the current package directly with HCS.

### Does financing itself establish Proposition 19 eligibility?

No. HCS’s [attorney page](https://hcsequity.com/information-for-attorneys/) describes financing within an illustrative equalization process. Tax treatment depends on the applicable rules and transaction facts. Consult the [California State Board of Equalization](https://www.boe.ca.gov/prop19/) and qualified advisers for the particular transfer.
