3 Risks of Leaving an Inherited Home Vacant in Franktown

Inheriting a property in Franktown is a privilege, but leaving it vacant while you decide what to do carries hidden risks. Here is why acting quickly is often the safest financial move:

1. Insurance Gaps: Most standard homeowner policies do not cover homes left vacant for more than 30 days. You may need a costly "vacant home" policy.
2. Maintenance Drift: In our climate, a small leak or a furnace failure can turn into a disaster if no one is watching.
3. Tax & Utility Drain: Holding costs eat into the estate's value every month.
