What we do with the house and its contents
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
Tell us what the family wants to keep. The remaining belongings can stay with the house.
Until the sale closes, utilities, insurance, property taxes, upkeep, and any mortgage payment may continue.
What happens next
Start with a conversation about the house, its condition, the belongings the family wants to keep, and where things stand with the estate. You can call before you have the estate papers in hand.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Signing from another location
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.

Who can sign?
The probate court appoints the executor named in the will, or an administrator if there is no will. The court’s letters show who has authority to act for the estate. An executor can usually sell under a power of sale in the will. Read R.I. Gen. Laws § 33-12-6.
If the will leaves the house to a specific person, that person must agree in writing. Without a power of sale—or if there is no will—the executor or administrator can ask the probate court for a license to sell. The court may allow a private sale and sets a minimum price. A license lasts one year. See R.I. Gen. Laws § 33-19-3 and § 33-19-9.
An estate-tax lien can affect the house, and the estate may need a discharge before closing. See R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-23-12 and the Division of Taxation’s Form T-77 for an estate-tax lien discharge.
Rhode Island real estate conveyance tax
Rhode Island charges real estate conveyance tax when the deed is recorded. Since October 1, 2025, the rate is $3.75 for each $500 of the price, or any part of $500. The price includes a mortgage or lien that stays on the property. For 2026, a second tax at the same rate applies to the portion above $824,000; the threshold adjusts for inflation each year. State law assigns the tax to the seller unless the parties agree otherwise. Read R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-25-1, the state’s rate notice, and its 2026 threshold notice.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Rhode Island's real estate conveyance tax.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Questions and contact
Questions about selling an inherited Central Falls house
Can an inherited Rhode Island house be sold before the estate is finished?
Often, yes, once the person signing has authority to sell. An executor can usually sell under a power of sale in the will. Without that power, the executor or administrator can ask the probate court for a license to sell.
Who can sign for an inherited house?
The probate court appoints the executor named in the will, or an administrator when there is no will. The court’s letters show that person’s authority. If the will leaves the house to a specific person, that person must agree in writing.
Do I have to put the house in my own name before selling it?
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
What if the will does not give the executor power to sell?
The executor—or an administrator if there is no will—can ask the probate court for a license to sell. The court may allow a private sale and sets a minimum price. A license to sell lasts one year.
What happens to belongings in the house?
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. Tell us what the family wants to keep; the remaining belongings can stay with the house.
