What we do with an inherited house
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
You can take the belongings the family wants to keep and leave the rest. You do not have to sort, repair, or empty the house before asking about a sale.
While an estate holds a house, carrying costs can continue: utilities, insurance, upkeep, and property taxes. Those bills are part of the numbers to consider; an inherited home does not have to be unwanted for its ongoing costs to matter.

Indiana estate rules and taxes
Often, yes: you may be able to sell an inherited Indiana house before probate is finished. A court-appointed personal representative in an unsupervised estate can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order, subject to the estate’s restrictions. A will may also give the representative power to sell. If neither the appointment nor the will provides that authority, a court order may be needed. Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions before setting a closing date. See Indiana Code § 29-1-7.5-3(a)(25), subject to § 29-1-7.5-2(d) and Indiana Code §§ 29-1-15-2 and 29-1-15-3.
A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner’s death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. See Indiana Code § 32-17-14-11. The actual deed, appointment, will, and any court restrictions determine the route and who may sign.
We help coordinate the sale, but we do not provide legal advice. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the estate.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. The seller’s mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Tax questions about a particular estate or sale depend on its records and circumstances; ask a qualified tax professional about your situation.
