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 you want to keep. We can talk through the contents and access, and you do not have to empty the house before asking us to consider it.
An inherited house can keep bringing utility, insurance, maintenance, and property-tax bills while the estate is being handled. If you want to keep the house, that is your choice; if you decide to sell, an as-is offer gives you another option to compare.

Nevada estate rules and transfer tax
Who can sign for the estate?
The personal representative is the person appointed by the court to act for the estate. With a will, the court issues letters testamentary to the executor; without a will, it issues letters of administration to an administrator. That person must qualify before signing for the estate. A family relationship by itself does not give someone authority to sell the house.
If a court order gives the house to heirs, such as an order of distribution, they sign as owners only after that order is recorded with the Churchill County Recorder. The estate file and title review establish which route applies.

When does a court need to approve a sale?
In most estates, a judge must confirm the house sale before title passes. A different route may apply if the court gives the personal representative full authority under Nevada's independent-administration law. That can allow a sale without court confirmation after required notice; an interested person's objection sends the sale back to court. An estate worth $500,000 or less after mortgages and liens may qualify for summary administration, which can avoid confirmation, but sale-notice rules still apply.

Churchill County real property transfer tax
Nevada's real property transfer tax is charged when a deed is recorded. In Churchill County, the total rate is $2.05 for each $500 of value or part of $500; value is generally the full purchase price. By law, buyer and seller are each responsible for the whole tax, though the contract can say who pays.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nevada's real property transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

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.
Local records and estate help
Churchill County's Recorder is the local records office for deed-record questions. The county link is a starting point for records information; the office does not determine who may sign for a specific estate.
