Can you buy land that is still in probate?

Yes, in most states. We've closed probate land sales where the court-approved executor had authority to sell. Your estate attorney confirms the exact authority you have, and we work within that framework.

What if there are multiple heirs and one won't agree to sell?

All owners on the deed must sign. If one heir won't cooperate, the sale can't close — that's a legal reality. In some cases, heirs can petition for a partition sale. We can wait while you work through that process.

Do I need to visit the property to sell it?

No. We close remotely. A mobile notary or mail-away signing handles the deed. You never need to set foot on the land.

What happens to unpaid property taxes on the inherited land?

They get paid at closing from your proceeds. The title company pulls a tax certificate, includes the amount on the closing statement, and pays the county directly. You don't need cash before closing.

How fast can you actually close?

Our minimum is about 7 days — that's how long a title search and deed prep take. Probate situations usually need 21-30 days to allow for court-required notice periods. We'll give you a realistic timeline on our first call.

Is there any obligation when I request an offer?

None. We give you a cash offer. You accept, decline, or take time. We don't pressure anyone — especially families working through an estate.

Why Heirs and Executors Come to Us

Inherited land rarely comes with a plan. The person who owned it is gone, the property taxes keep arriving, and now you're responsible for a piece of ground hundreds or thousands of miles away that you've never visited.

The traditional route — list with an agent, wait 6-18 months for a buyer who can get financing on raw land — doesn't fit most inheritance situations. Probate has deadlines. Siblings have opinions. Estate attorneys charge by the hour. Every month the property sits, you're paying taxes on land that isn't earning a dollar.

We work with heirs, executors, trustees, and administrators every week. Here's what we actually solve:

Multiple heirs, one transaction. We can structure the purchase so proceeds split at closing per the estate's instructions. No heir chases another for a check.
Executor authority. If you've been appointed executor and the estate is still open, we can buy during probate in most states — your estate attorney confirms the court order, we close on that timeline.
Out-of-state land. You're in Ohio, the land is in New Mexico. You've never seen it. We handle the title search, deed prep, and closing remotely. You sign notarized docs and wire instructions come to you.
Back taxes and liens. If the decedent let taxes lapse, those amounts come out of proceeds at closing. You don't bring cash to the table to clear the slate.
Clean exit. A fast cash sale lets the family move on instead of arguing over a parcel for years.

We're not a listing service. We're the buyer. One offer, one closing, done. We pay all closing costs — you net the offer price.

Not legal or tax advice. Consult your estate attorney and CPA about the treatment of an inherited land sale before closing.

What Makes Inherited Land Sales Different

Inherited land has a specific legal wrinkle most buyers won't touch: title can be cloudy. If the decedent never recorded a deed correctly, if there are missing heirs, or if the estate hasn't been formally probated, a conventional buyer's lender kills the deal at underwriting. We're a cash buyer — no lender, no underwriter. Our title company works through those issues as part of the normal closing process.

Probate timelines vary wildly by state. Some states have simplified small-estate affidavit procedures that move in weeks. Others require full probate court approval that takes months. We work around whatever your attorney's timeline is — we don't impose our own deadline.

If the land is in multiple heirs' names, every heir on the deed must sign at closing. We flag this early so there are no surprises at the end. Your title company will confirm exactly how many signatures are required as part of their title commitment.

Stepped-up basis is worth knowing about: in most cases your cost basis resets to the fair market value at the date of death, which can significantly reduce or eliminate capital gains tax on a sale. That's a conversation for your CPA, not us. But it's often good news before you assume a big tax hit.

Inherited land has more moving pieces than a standard sale, but none of them are deal-killers when the buyer knows what they're doing. We close inherited parcels every month across dozens of states. Call 928-928-4109 and we'll have an offer to you within 24 hours.
