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. You do not have to clear the contents or make repairs to sell to us. If there are things you want to keep, tell us during the conversation so the written terms can say what stays and what is included.
Property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can keep adding up while the house remains yours.
What happens next
- We start with the Crawfordsville property address and talk through what you know about the house, its contents, and the estate.
- We discuss the condition and timing, then review the property.
- You get a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive written offer terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing and confirms the documents and authority needed for this sale.
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.

Yes. In Indiana, a court-appointed personal representative in an unsupervised estate can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order, subject to statutory limits and court restrictions under Indiana Code § 29-1-7.5-3(a)(25), subject to § 29-1-7.5-2(d). A will can also give the representative power to sell under Indiana Code §§ 29-1-15-2 and 29-1-15-3. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed.
A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner's death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate under Indiana Code § 32-17-14-11.
Montgomery County's Auditor maintains ownership and tax-duplicate records, and the Treasurer collects property taxes and publishes tax-sale information.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. The title company can confirm property-specific payoffs and prorations from the live records.
