Sell the house as-is, with the contents still there

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. For an inherited house, that means you do not have to haul away a lifetime of belongings before selling. Your family can keep what it wants, and the written terms can say what stays with the house.

While the house remains in the estate, bills such as property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance can continue. You do not have to decide that the house was unwanted to compare a sale with those ongoing costs.

What happens next

  1. Tell us the Kendallville address, the house’s condition, and what you know about the estate or deed.
  2. We talk through the property and the contents, then review the house as-is.
  3. You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit. The closing goes through a title company.

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.

Compare what you keep

Indiana estate authority, taxes, and closing

Often, you can sell an inherited Indiana house before probate is finished. A court-appointed personal representative in an unsupervised estate can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order, subject to Indiana law. A will may also give the representative power to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed. Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions 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. The deed and title determine whether that route applies to a particular house.

You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

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.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. The title company can confirm the property's tax allocation, payoffs, and other amounts for the actual closing.

Questions about selling an inherited house

Can I sell an inherited Indiana house before probate is finished?

Often, yes. A court-appointed personal representative in an unsupervised estate can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order, subject to Indiana law.

Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions before setting a closing date.

Who can sign for the inherited house?

The estate’s court-appointed personal representative may generally sell property in an unsupervised estate, subject to the appointment, will, and court restrictions. A will may grant a power to sell; if no authority applies, a court order may be needed. The title company or a qualified attorney can review the actual documents and confirm who signs.

Do I have to put the house in my own name before selling it?

You can sell in the estate’s name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the estate.

Can a transfer-on-death deed pass the house outside probate?

A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner’s death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. Have the deed and current title reviewed to confirm how this property passes.

Do I need to clean out or repair the house first?

No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can keep items your family wants, and we can agree in writing about what remains with the house.

Can I sell from outside Indiana?

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 closing costs and property taxes do you pay?
