Probate & inherited property
When a home is tied up in probate,
we help carry the process.
We buy probate-held homes for cash, cover probate costs, and coordinate directly with the attorney so the estate can settle without the weight of the paperwork landing on any one person.

The situation
Probate rarely arrives at a good time.
Most of the families we work with are sorting out a parent's estate while also running the rest of their lives — jobs, kids, grief, a hundred small decisions. The house is usually the biggest asset and the hardest thing to move.
A probate sale has extra rules. Which heirs need to sign. What the court needs to approve. How debts and taxes get settled out of the proceeds. The people carrying it through a normal listing often find the process stretches into months of unfamiliar paperwork.
Court timelines
Probate courts move at their own pace. A traditional listing can't really speed that up.
Multiple heirs
Decisions often need sign-off from people in different cities, states, or circumstances.
Holding costs
Taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep keep running while the estate is open.
Condition concerns
Many probate homes need work most families don't have time or budget to handle.
How we help
We handle the parts families shouldn't have to.
Probate is not a place to learn on the job. Our work is to take every part of the sale we can carry, and coordinate the rest directly with the professionals who are already involved.
We cover probate costs
The costs of moving the case through court — from attorney fees to court-ordered expenses — can be carried as part of our purchase, so no one is writing checks out of pocket to get to closing.
We coordinate with the attorney
We speak directly with the probate attorney, request what the court needs, and keep the sale aligned with the case so nothing stalls the estate.
We buy as-is
Forty years of stuff in the house? A roof that's seen better days? We buy the property in its current condition. No repairs, no staging, no showings.
We work at the family's pace
Closings happen when the court and the family are ready — not on a broker's schedule. Faster when it helps, slower when that's what the estate needs.
No commission
You are selling direct, not listing. There is no 5-6% broker split eating into what the estate receives.
“We cover probate costs and handle every step — including connecting you with the attorney and helping navigate each requirement.”
What to expect
A probate sale, walked through together.
- 01
A first conversation
Tell us what you know — who passed, where things stand with the court, whether an attorney is engaged. We ask only what we need to help.
- 02
Review property and paperwork
We walk the home, review the estate documents that are available, and talk with the probate attorney to understand what the court will need.
- 03
A fair cash offer
We put a clear number in writing, with probate costs covered, no commissions, and as-is purchase. You and the attorney review it with all the time you need.
- 04
Close when the court is ready
When the probate case allows it, we close. Proceeds are distributed per the estate plan; we stay hands-on through the final paperwork.
If the estate is still in the early stages of probate, we can wait. If the court is ready to close, we can move quickly. The timeline follows the case, not a checklist.
Do we have to wait until probate is fully closed to sell to you?
No. Many of our purchases happen during an open probate case, in coordination with the attorney and the court. We can also wait until the case is closed if that's simpler for the family. What matters is what the estate actually needs.
What does 'covering probate costs' mean in practice?
It means that ordinary costs required to move the probate case forward — filing fees, court-ordered expenses, some attorney fees — can be carried as part of our purchase structure. We'll walk through what's covered in writing before anything is signed, so there are no surprises.
The house is full of belongings and needs work. Is that a problem?
No. We buy probate homes as-is. You can take what matters to the family and leave the rest — we'll handle the cleanout and any repairs after close. There is no staging, no listing photos, and no showings to strangers.
There are multiple heirs in different states. Can you still work with us?
Yes. We're used to coordinating with families spread across the country, and we work through the probate attorney so every heir can review and sign what's needed without flying in. Most of the paperwork can be handled remotely.
What if we're not sure selling is the right answer?
That's a fair question, and we'd rather help you figure that out than push a sale. If keeping the property, renting it, or transferring it to an heir is a better fit, we'll say so. We're only useful when selling actually serves the family.
