What we do with the house and its contents

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 decide what the family wants to keep. If belongings remain, tell us what will stay so the written terms are clear. While an estate owns a house, bills such as utilities, insurance, property taxes, and upkeep can continue.

What happens next

  1. Tell us the Cheyenne or Laramie County address, the home’s condition, what may remain inside, and what you know about the estate.
  2. We talk through the property and the questions still to confirm, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
  3. If you choose to proceed, closing takes place through a title company, which checks the deed, title, estate signing authority, and closing documents.

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.

What you keep after the sale

Compare the written offer with what you may keep after listing costs, repairs, and the house’s ongoing bills. A calculator can help you compare estimates; it does not decide the property’s value or estate authority.

Wyoming estate rules and sale costs

In probate, the court-appointed personal representative sells for the estate. If the will gives that person a power of sale, Wyoming’s statutory sale procedures do not apply. Otherwise, the representative can ask the district court to authorize a sale after notice and a hearing; the court reviews the sale and orders delivery of the deed. Read the Wyoming estate statutes →.

If the entire estate is worth no more than $400,000 after liens, a person entitled to inherit can apply for a court decree of summary distribution at least 30 days after the death. The decree is recorded with the county clerk. A Wyoming homestead not set aside for a surviving spouse or descendants has additional court requirements, and they may have rights to its proceeds. Mortgages and liens still need to be paid or released for clear title.

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.

Wyoming does not impose a state real-estate transfer tax. County deed recording has a statutory charge of $12 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, with extra charges in some cases; the closing professional confirms the exact charges for the documents being recorded. See the recording-charge law → and Wyoming taxation statutes →.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.

Questions about selling an inherited house

Can an inherited Wyoming house be sold before probate is finished?

Often, yes. In probate, the court-appointed personal representative sells for the estate. If the will gives that person a power of sale, Wyoming’s statutory sale procedures do not apply. Otherwise, the representative can ask the district court to authorize the sale after notice and a hearing; the court reviews the sale and orders delivery of the deed. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the actual estate.

Do I have to put the inherited house in my own name first?

You can sell in the estate’s name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. The title company or a qualified attorney should confirm the right signer and deed for the estate.

What if the estate may qualify for summary distribution?

If the entire estate is worth no more than $400,000 after liens, a person entitled to inherit can apply for a court decree of summary distribution at least 30 days after the death. The decree is recorded with the county clerk. A qualified attorney or the court can confirm whether the actual estate qualifies.

Can I sell an inherited house without clearing out the contents?

Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. You can decide what the family wants to keep; tell us what will remain so the written terms match the property.

What transfer tax or recording charge applies in Wyoming?

Wyoming does not impose a state real-estate transfer tax. State law lists a county clerk recording charge of $12 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, with extra charges in some cases; the closing professional confirms the exact charges for the documents being recorded. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. A mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

Can I sign if I live outside Wyoming?

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.

How soon will I get a written offer?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
