In probate, a court-appointed personal representative sells for the estate. If the will gives that representative a power of sale, Wyoming’s statutory sale procedures do not apply. Without that power, 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.
A person entitled to inherit may apply for a summary-distribution decree if the entire estate is worth no more than $400,000 after liens and at least 30 days have passed since the death. The decree is recorded with the county clerk.
A homestead not set aside for a surviving spouse or descendants has additional court requirements, and a spouse or descendants 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 transfer tax and deed recording
Wyoming does not impose a state real estate transfer tax. State law sets the county clerk’s recording charge at $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. That does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Questions about selling an inherited house in Gillette
Can I sell an inherited Wyoming house before probate is finished?
Often, yes, but the estate needs a valid path to sell. A court-appointed personal representative may sell for the estate if the will grants a power of sale. Without that power, the representative can ask the district court to authorize a sale after notice and a hearing. Some estates may instead qualify for a summary-distribution decree after at least 30 days. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm which route and signer apply to the property.
Who can sign for an inherited house in Wyoming?
In probate, the court-appointed personal representative sells for the estate. The will, any court order, and the title record matter; being an heir alone does not establish who can sign for an estate sale. 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.
Do I have to clean out or repair the inherited house first?
No cleanout or repairs are required to sell to us. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can keep the belongings you want; we take the house as it is.
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.
Does Wyoming charge a real estate transfer tax?
Wyoming does not impose a state real estate transfer tax. Recording a deed has a county clerk 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; that does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
What happens to a mortgage or lien on the inherited property?
A mortgage or lien does not disappear when a house is inherited. Mortgages and liens need to be paid or released for clear title. The title company can review the current payoff and recorded documents as part of the closing file.
