Questions People In Your Situation Ask
Usually yes, once the court issues letters testamentary, the executor can sell. If the will grants power of sale, it can be even earlier. We can prepare the offer while you wait so no time is lost.
It gets paid off at closing out of the sale price. If payments are behind, selling quickly protects the estate from foreclosure.
Inherited property gets a stepped-up basis to its value at the date of death, so selling soon after inheriting usually means little or no capital gains tax. Confirm with a tax professional.
Yes. Probate sales to cash buyers are a normal, court-recognized transaction in Ohio, Texas and Georgia. The executor signs with the authority the court granted, a licensed title company records everything, and the proceeds go into the estate account. Your estate attorney reviews every document before you sign.
Never in cash and never to a personal account. The buyer wires funds to the title company escrow account before closing. After recording, the title company disburses directly to the estate account by wire or check. Every transfer is documented for the court.
Three checks protect you: the buyer closes through a licensed title company you can call yourself, the offer is written with the price calculation shown, and nobody asks you for any upfront fee. Anyone failing one of those three tests should not get a second phone call.
Typically the death certificate, the letters testamentary or letters of administration from the probate court, your photo ID, and any existing deed or mortgage statement you can find. The title company pulls the rest from public records.
We start from recent comparable sales in the neighborhood, subtract the realistic cost of bringing the house to that condition, and subtract our margin. All three numbers appear in the written offer so your family and attorney can verify them.
Federal estate tax only touches estates above roughly $13 million, so most families owe none. Income tax matters more: thanks to the stepped-up basis, selling near the date-of-death value usually creates little or no taxable gain. A tax professional can confirm your exact numbers.
Yes. Title companies routinely use mobile notaries and, where permitted, remote online notarization. Heirs in different states, or different countries, sign without traveling.
