Real Example
A family in Orlando inherited their parents' home. It was full of belongings and needed updates. The siblings lived in different states and couldn't agree on renovations. We bought the house as-is for $310,000. We handled the cleanout. The closing took 21 days, and the proceeds were wired directly to each heir.
Selling Inherited Property in Florida
Reference: Florida Statutes §732 & §733
- Under §732.401, the surviving spouse has homestead protections that may limit what heirs can do with the property.
- Florida's stepped-up basis means you likely owe little to no capital gains tax if you sell soon after inheriting.
- If multiple heirs disagree, any heir can file a partition action under §64.031 to force the sale of the property.
- Properties held in a revocable trust avoid probate entirely — the successor trustee can sell immediately.
- Florida requires title insurance on all real estate transfers — the title company verifies the chain of title from the decedent to you.
Legal Questions Specific to Your Situation
What if multiple heirs disagree about selling?
Under Florida Statute §64.031, any co-owner can file a partition action to force the sale. This goes through the courts and can take months. It's usually faster and cheaper for all parties to agree on a cash sale — we handle coordinating with multiple heirs and their attorneys.
Does homestead exemption transfer to heirs?
It depends. Under §732.401, if the decedent was married, the surviving spouse retains homestead rights. Other heirs may inherit the property but lose the homestead exemption, meaning property taxes can increase significantly. Selling quickly avoids accumulating higher tax bills.
How do I sell if the property is in a trust?
Properties in a revocable living trust avoid probate. The successor trustee named in the trust document can sell the property directly. We work with trust attorneys regularly and can close quickly once the trustee has proper documentation.
Florida probate in 2026: Summary administration (estates ≤$75K) takes 1–3 months, while formal administration averages 9–12 months. Contested cases can drag on 2+ years for contested estates. Attorney fees follow a statutory schedule — for a $500K estate, expect ~$15,000 (3%). Over 67,000 probate cases were opened statewide in 2024, with 42% of cases pending over 18 months. Important: Florida has NO state inheritance or estate tax, and the 2026 federal exemption is $13.99 million per person (2025, indexed annually).
