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.
Keep the belongings your family wants; the rest can stay with the house.
Utilities, insurance, property taxes, upkeep, and any mortgage payment can continue while the estate owns the house. Selling lets you stop carrying those house costs after closing.
What happens next
- Talk with us about the Hobart house, its condition, the belongings your family wants to keep, and where things stand with the estate. Start with what you know.
- You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
- 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.
What you may keep
A mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and the estate’s share of current property taxes affect what remains from a sale. The title company reviews the amounts due in the closing figures.
Compare a possible listing with a direct sale, and adjust the calculator assumptions to fit the house.

Indiana estate rules
Who can sign, and can the sale happen before probate ends?
In an unsupervised Indiana estate, a court-appointed personal representative can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will may also give the representative power to sell; if neither applies, a court order may be needed. See Indiana Code § 29-1-7.5-3(a)(25), subject to § 29-1-7.5-2(d) and §§ 29-1-15-2 and 29-1-15-3.
We can look at the appointment papers, will, deed, and any court restrictions with you before setting a closing date. 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.
