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

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close 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.

Who can sign for the estate?
The probate-court-appointed personal representative handles the estate sale; an heir cannot sign based only on being an heir. In independent administration, the representative generally can sell estate real estate without a separate court order, within the will’s limits and for the estate’s benefit. See RSMo §473.783 and §473.810. If the will gives the executor power to sell, the executor may sell under that power; see RSMo §473.457.
In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order. The representative petitions the court, gives required notice to heirs and devisees, and files a report of sale for court approval; interested people may object before approval. See RSMo §473.460, §473.493, and §473.513. Not sure which papers you have? Call us — we’ll talk them through with you.
