Why Selling Your Inherited Property to Us Works
No Repairs or Cleanouts
If the estate does not want to clean out the house or fund repairs first, we can price the cleanout, roof, AC, personal property, title, and seller-cost assumptions into the written offer.
Fast and Flexible Timelines
Closing timing depends on title, court authority, payoffs, and seller documents. If you need to wait for court orders or probate approval, we'll coordinate directly with your estate attorney to align the closing date.
Seller Costs Stated in Writing
We state seller costs in writing before you sign. The settlement statement should show title charges, deed taxes, payoffs, prorations, liens, and how proceeds are distributed under the estate documents.
Clear Title Resolution
Our title agents work directly with the estate to resolve complex title issues, such as tax liens, unprobated wills, or missing heirs.
How We Handle Inherited property
Our process coordinates with your estate's timeline and legal requirements:
- Step 1: Contact and Property Review. Submit your address or call us. We'll check county property appraiser records and schedule a single walkthrough.
- Step 2: Direct Cash Offer. We'll present a written cash offer with documentation of available closing funds. We align the target closing date with title, probate authority, payoff figures, and seller readiness.
- Step 3: Title and Probate Coordination. We'll coordinate with the estate's probate lawyer or title company. If the property's in a revocable living trust, we'll review the trust certificate to prepare deed documents.
- Step 4: As-Is Closing and Direct Wire. You leave any unwanted furniture, trash, or debris behind. The title company closes the transaction and disburses proceeds according to the settlement statement, title requirements, and estate instructions.

Real Example
In an inherited-property situation we reviewed, the heirs were dealing with a vacant home, deferred maintenance, personal property, and disagreement over who should pay for repairs before sale. The useful comparison was not a generic cash-offer promise. It was repair first and list, keep paying carrying costs, or accept a written as-is offer that priced cleanout, title, liens, and seller costs up front.
Selling Inherited Property in Florida
Reference: Florida Statutes §732 & §733
- Under § 732.401, surviving spouses have homestead protections that limit heir disposal rights. Other qualified heirs inherit homestead creditor protection, but the tax assessment cap resets.
- Inherited property may receive a stepped-up basis under federal tax rules, but the result depends on date-of-death value, improvements, sale costs, prior use, estate facts, and reporting requirements. Ask a CPA or tax attorney before relying on the tax outcome.
- If multiple heirs disagree, a Florida probate attorney can explain options such as a buyout, listing agreement, court approval, or partition. Court disputes can add months, legal fees, and uncertainty, so get legal advice before assuming one heir can force the outcome quickly.
- Personal representative eligibility can be limited for some out-of-state non-relatives. Confirm who has authority to sign with the probate attorney and title company before accepting an offer.
- Unmaintained vacant homes can attract code, insurance, utility, moisture, mold, theft, and repair problems. Before deciding whether to hold, list, or sell as-is, check payoff figures, liens, open violations, insurance status, and repair estimates.
Legal Questions Specific to Your Situation
What if multiple heirs disagree about selling?
If heirs disagree, ask the probate attorney what authority exists, whether court approval is needed, and whether a buyout, listing, partition, or cash sale is realistic. A written cash offer can give the family a concrete number to compare, but it is not a substitute for legal advice.
Does homestead exemption transfer to heirs?
Do not assume the homestead exemption, Save Our Homes cap, creditor protection, or tax basis transfers automatically. The answer depends on ownership, surviving spouse rights, heir status, occupancy, and county records. Check with the property appraiser, probate attorney, and tax professional before making a decision.
How do I sell if the property is in a trust?
A trust can simplify the sale, but the title company still needs to confirm trustee authority, trust documents, deed requirements, liens, payoff figures, and any beneficiary issues. We can review the trust certificate with the title company before setting closing expectations.
Florida probate timing is fact-specific. Summary administration may be faster when the estate qualifies. Formal administration, creditor issues, missing documents, title defects, or heir disputes can take longer. Before relying on any timeline or tax result, ask the probate attorney, title company, and tax professional what applies to this property.
