🔹 FAQ: Probate & Inherited Homes in Florida
Can you buy a house that is in probate in Florida?
Yes. We regularly buy houses that are in probate in Florida. Depending on the situation, a home can sometimes be sold during probate or immediately after probate is completed. We work closely with probate attorneys and title companies to ensure the process is handled properly.
Do all heirs need to agree to sell an inherited house?
In most cases, yes. If multiple heirs are involved, all parties with an ownership interest typically must agree to the sale. We help coordinate communication and work with the estate’s legal representatives to keep the process smooth and transparent.
Can you buy an inherited house that still has belongings inside?
Yes. We buy inherited houses as-is, including properties with personal belongings, furniture, or items left behind. There is no need to clean out or prepare the home before selling.
What if the inherited house needs major repairs?
That’s not a problem. Many inherited homes need repairs or updates, and we factor that into our offer. You are not required to make repairs, renovations, or improvements of any kind.
How long does it take to sell a probate or inherited house?
Timelines vary depending on the probate process and title status. Once legal authority to sell is established, we can often close in as little as 7–21 days, depending on the situation.
Do you help if there is no will?
Yes. Florida probate laws address situations where there is no will. While we do not provide legal advice, we frequently work alongside probate attorneys to help heirs understand their options and move forward.
