Kentucky selling rules
Estate sales and transfer tax
Kentucky real estate transfer tax
Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of value, or any fraction of $500. State law assigns the tax to the seller, and the County Clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and deed-recording fees are separate; the title company can confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Selling a house from a Kentucky estate
A court must appoint the personal representative first. If the will gives that person power to sell real estate, a separate court order is usually not needed. Without that power, the representative can ask District Court for an order allowing the sale. The order must be final and the appeal period must expire before the deed can be conveyed; a certified copy is recorded with the deed.
A surviving spouse may have rights in the house even if not named on the deed. Some heirs may owe Kentucky inheritance tax, though close family is exempt. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
