Helpful Indiana rules
Inherited houses and property-transfer costs
Who can sell an inherited house?
In an unsupervised Indiana estate, 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 that person power to sell; if neither route applies, a court order may be needed. A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner’s death can pass the house to its named beneficiary outside probate.
If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Indiana property-transfer filing
Indiana requires a property-transfer filing with the county Auditor for property-tax records. The filing fee is usually $20, though some transfers are exempt. Deed recording and other closing charges are separate.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
