Where is the Dane County Probate Court?

Dane County Circuit Court Probate Division is at 215 S. Hamilton Street, Room 1005, Madison WI 53703, phone (608) 266-4331. Probate court records and filings are handled at courts.danecounty.gov. Verify current contact information before relying on it.

Can I sell the house before probate is complete?

You can sign a purchase agreement and accept a cash offer before probate closes. The deed transfer typically requires Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. USA Home Buyers works with estate attorneys and waits for Letters when needed.

How long does Wisconsin probate take?

Uncontested Wisconsin estates typically resolve in 3–6 months through informal administration. Complex estates may take 12–24 months. Wisconsin offers summary assignment for small estates with personal property under $50,000. Consult an estate attorney.

Do I need to repair the property before selling in probate?

No. We buy as-is. Madison probate properties — Craftsman bungalows in Marquette, older Foursquares in Vilas, post-war homes in Nakoma — often have deferred maintenance, full basements of belongings, or outdated systems. None of that stops us from making an offer.

Wisconsin Probate and Real Property Sales

Wisconsin probate is administered through the Circuit Court in the county where the deceased lived. For Dane County estates, that's the Probate Division at 215 S. Hamilton Street, Room 1005, Madison WI 53703. The personal representative (executor) receives Letters Testamentary after the court approves the estate. Once Letters are issued, the personal representative has the authority to sign a purchase agreement and convey the property at closing. You don't need court approval for each individual sale transaction under standard Wisconsin informal administration.

According to Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 856, real property held in an estate passes through the personal representative to the beneficiaries or to a buyer at sale. USA Home Buyers closes on a timeline that works within the probate process — we're not in a rush to force a difficult situation.
