Douglas Elliman announced today the national launch of its Estate, Trust & Probate Division, a specialized group of agents dedicated to guiding clients through the nuanced landscape of trust, conservatorship, and probate real estate transactions with a focus on care, compliance, and integrity. Formerly known as the Master Trust & Probate Division, the expanded nationwide division will serve institutional sellers, legal professionals, and families with tailored support backed by over a century of brokerage expertise.
“This expansion reflects our commitment to offering sophisticated, compassionate service in one of the most sensitive areas of real estate,” said Michael S. Liebowitz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Douglas Elliman Inc. “Our Estate, Trust & Probate Division combines deep market knowledge with emotional intelligence to provide a truly unmatched client experience. We’re proud to bring this level of specialization to clients across the country.”
Among the select few chosen to represent this distinguished division is Lisa Gild, a respected Los Angeles–based agent known for her discretion, market insight, and trusted relationships with clients and fiduciaries. Lisa’s selection reflects not only her professional excellence but also her deep understanding of the complexities inherent in estate, trust, and probate transactions.
The division is designed not only to support clients but also to serve as a resource for Douglas Elliman agents working with estates, institutions, and legal professionals. Gild, along with her fellow division members, will be available for consultations and potential co-listings across markets — offering specialized guidance to colleagues and clients alike.
With rigorous compliance standards and an exemplary record of integrity, the division is purpose-built to offer both technical and empathetic support through a highly sensitive process. Lisa Gild’s inclusion underscores her continued dedication to providing clients with the utmost professionalism, transparency, and compassion during life transitions that require exceptional care.
This prestigious division includes only 1% of Douglas Elliman’s agents, highlighting their standing among the top professionals in the firm. Among the 25 current members — a group that will continue to grow through a selective application process — the division has already transacted over $475 million in 2025 sales volume.
As part of this exceptional national network, Lisa Gild will continue to uphold the highest fiduciary standards while delivering unparalleled service to clients navigating estate, trust, and probate real estate throughout Los Angeles and beyond.
