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. You do not have to empty the house before asking us to buy it. If family members want to keep particular belongings, tell us so the written terms can address them.
Mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and ordinary upkeep are carrying costs to account for while the house is still in the estate. We can review the house as-is and talk through the contents, access, and timing with you.
What happens next
- Tell us the Levittown address, what you know about the house, and what estate paperwork is available. You can call before you have letters in hand.
- We review the property and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You can read the written offer and terms before deciding. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles closing and checks the deed, estate authority, and settlement figures.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. A mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
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.

In most estates, Pennsylvania law lets the executor sell the house without going to court. If the will leaves the house to one specific person, that person signs too. See 20 Pa.C.S. § 3351.
If the executor is not authorized to sell under the law or the will, the executor can ask the county Orphans’ Court for permission, including for a house specifically left to someone. The court decides whether the sale is desirable for estate administration and distribution; a missing signature alone does not mean the court will approve it. See 20 Pa.C.S. § 3353.
Letters testamentary or letters of administration are papers from the county Register of Wills showing who can sign for the estate. You can call us before you have them in hand. 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.
Pennsylvania inheritance tax depends on who inherits. The general rates are 0% for a spouse, a parent inheriting from a child age 21 or younger, and a child age 21 or younger inheriting from a parent who died in 2020 or later; 4.5% for children, grandchildren, and other direct descendants; 12% for siblings; and 15% for most other heirs. The estate’s facts and applicable exemptions matter. See the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue inheritance-tax guidance.
The tax is owed from the date of death. Paying within three months takes 5% off; it becomes late after nine months. Many families pay it from the house sale.
Realty transfer tax is separate from inheritance tax. Levittown CDP intersects Bristol, Falls, and Middletown Townships, so confirm the governing municipality for the actual address rather than relying on a Levittown mailing label. The County’s transfer-tax information is a starting point; the title company can confirm the transaction details.

Can I sell an inherited house in the estate’s name?
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. In most estates, Pennsylvania law lets the executor sell without going to court. The will, appointment, title, and any specific gift of the house can affect who must sign. 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.
Who can sign for a Pennsylvania estate?
Letters testamentary or letters of administration are papers from the county Register of Wills that show who can sign for the estate. In most estates, an executor can sell without court approval; if the will leaves the house to one specific person, that person signs too. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm the signers for this property.
Does every estate house sale need court approval?
No. In most estates, the executor can sell under Pennsylvania law without first going to court. If the executor is not authorized to sell under the law or will, the executor can ask the county Orphans’ Court for permission. The court decides whether a sale is desirable for estate administration and distribution; a missing signature alone does not mean it will approve a sale.
Do I need to have estate papers before I call?
You can call us before you have letters in hand. The Register of Wills issues letters testamentary or letters of administration showing who may sign. We can talk through the house and the estate paperwork you have while the title company or a qualified attorney confirms authority.
Do I have to clear out or repair the inherited house?
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. If family members want to keep particular belongings, tell us so the written terms can address them.
Can I sell from another state without visiting the house?
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.
