POSSESSION PATHWAY

Sell

The possession follows an authorized route to an appropriate buyer or sale provider.

Long Pathways can coordinate an independent estate-sale company, buyer, dealer, auction company or specialist under a separate written Asset Disposition scope. The owner or authorized representative makes the final selection, signs directly with the provider and receives the proceeds.
