How Florida Probate Works
Understanding the probate process helps you see why selling to us makes sense. Here's what happens:
-
1
Filing the Petition
The probate process starts when someone files a petition with the court. This can take weeks or months to get started.
-
2
Appointing an Executor
The court appoints an executor or personal representative. This person is responsible for managing the estate, including the house.
-
3
Notifying Creditors
Creditors must be notified. They have 90 days to file claims. This adds to the timeline.
-
4
Paying Debts and Taxes
All debts and taxes must be paid before assets can be distributed. This can take months.
-
5
Distributing Assets
Finally, assets are distributed to heirs. But by this point, you've been paying for the house for 6-12 months.

Real Example: How We Helped a Family in Fort Lauderdale
Actual case study from our files
A family inherited a house in Fort Lauderdale after their mother passed away. Three siblings lived in different states—one in New York, one in California, one in Texas. They couldn't agree on repairs. They couldn't agree on listing price. They couldn't even agree on whether to sell. The house was worth $280,000, but they were paying $3,000+ per month in taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
We bought it for $280,000. We bought it as-is. No repairs. No staging. No arguments. We worked with their probate attorney. We coordinated with all three siblings. They closed in 30 days. Each sibling received their share. They moved on.
The alternative? Wait for probate to complete. That's 6-12 months. Pay $18,000-$36,000 in taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Fight about repairs. Fight about listing price. Fight about every offer. All while managing a property from three different states.
By selling to us, they avoided months of probate, thousands in ongoing costs, and family conflict. They got cash. They split it. They moved on. Simple.
❓ Common Questions About Selling Probate Properties
