1 · Learn the move · Recipe pattern
Selling a home tied to an estate fails when it's improvised, because the first question, who is even legally allowed to sign. Often isn't settled. A recipe pattern gives you a fixed, repeatable brief you run on every estate sale: confirm legal authority to sell, gather the property facts, sequence the tasks, and flag what waits on the court. The recipe's non-negotiable first step is verifying who holds authority (executor, administrator, trustee) with documentation; the actual probate mechanics, whether court confirmation is needed, what the letters authorize. Route to the estate's attorney and the court, never to AI.
Give me a repeatable coordination brief for an estate sale as a fixed recipe: first confirm who has legal authority to sell (with documents), then property facts, task sequence, and what waits on the court. Route all probate mechanics to the estate attorney/court. Use only facts I give you; mark the rest UNKNOWN.
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
An adult son calls: his mother passed, he wants to sell her home, and he says he's "handling the estate." You don't yet know whether probate has opened, whether he's the appointed executor, or whether anyone else has a claim. You want a brief you can reuse for any estate sale. Write a prompt that builds it as a fixed recipe. One that puts confirming legal authority first and hands probate questions to the attorney.
