Selling a House That Is in Probate
Probate slows things down, but it does not stop you selling. We buy probate properties across the country and are used to working around the court's timetable.
Once a personal representative or executor has been appointed, they generally have authority to sell estate property, sometimes subject to court confirmation. The exact rules vary by state, which is why we ask early on where the estate stands and who has authority to sign.
Probate houses are frequently the hardest ones to list conventionally. They tend to be dated, often fully furnished, sometimes vacant for months, and the estate rarely has cash to spare for repairs or staging. Selling as-is for cash sidesteps every one of those problems.
We do not need the property emptied, cleaned or repaired, and we can hold a contract open while the court process finishes rather than pressuring the estate to move faster than it legally can.

Common Questions
How long does probate take?
It varies widely by state and by how complicated the estate is - anywhere from a couple of months to well over a year. We can put a contract in place and wait for the court rather than making you wait to start.
Does the court have to approve the sale?
In some states and some circumstances, yes. Your probate attorney will know. We are used to confirmation hearings and can structure the offer accordingly.
Can you buy if the house is still full of the deceased's belongings?
Yes, and most probate houses are. Take what the family wants and leave the rest to us.
