Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.

Property taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep can continue while you own the house. Those carrying costs are part of the numbers to consider while you decide what to do with the property.

An independent estate representative can generally sell estate property without a separate court order, as long as the sale follows the will and serves the estate's interests. If the will specifically leaves the house to someone, that person's written consent is required for this independent-administration sale. In supervised administration, a sale may need probate-court permission.
A valid transfer-on-death instrument may pass the property outside probate. The deed, will and appointment papers determine which route applies, who can sign and what is needed to close.
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.
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. Exemptions and the transaction's taxable value can change the amount. The property's actual county and city determine the local taxes and who is responsible for them.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes.
This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes or your share of current property taxes.
