We buy the house and handle the contents

Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. Keep the belongings your family wants; what remains can stay with the house.

What happens next

Start with a conversation about the Fishers house, its condition, the belongings you want to keep, and where things stand with the estate.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

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.

Indiana estate rules and transfer costs

Who can sign?

In an unsupervised Indiana estate—one the court does not supervise step by step—a court-appointed personal representative, the person appointed to handle the estate, can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will may also give the representative power to sell. If neither route gives the needed authority, a court order may be needed. We can look at the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions with you 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 -3. If you are not sure which applies, call us — we’ll sort it out with you.

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.

Indiana property-transfer filing

Indiana requires a property-transfer form filed with the county Auditor for property-tax records. The filing fee is usually $20, and some transfers are exempt. Deed recording and other closing charges are separate, and the closing professional handles the paperwork. Read Indiana property-transfer information and Indiana property-transfer law. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Indiana property-transfer filing fee.
