There is no one net figure for every house. What you keep depends on the written sale price and property-specific costs and balances, such as a mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and selling costs. Compare net proceeds, not just headline prices, and adjust the assumptions for the sale paths you are considering.

How the Montgomery selling process works →

Alabama charges deed tax when the deed is recorded with the county probate judge: 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. The closing attorney confirms any applicable adjustment to taxable value.

Often, yes, once the person signing has legal authority. The probate court appoints a personal representative, and the court’s letters show that person’s authority. If the will expressly authorizes the sale, it can usually proceed under that power; otherwise, the personal representative needs court approval before selling estate property. If no estate is opened, heirs may be able to sell together, but everyone with an ownership interest must participate. Estate debts and a surviving spouse’s rights can affect title. The closing attorney or title company will confirm what is needed. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Often, yes, if you close before the foreclosure sale. A mortgage with a power of sale lets the lender foreclose without a court case. Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn’t postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think. After a foreclosure sale, some people have a limited right to redeem, or buy the house back. For qualifying residential property with a homestead exemption claimed in the year of sale and a mortgage signed on or after January 1, 2016, the usual period is 180 days; other property and older mortgages generally have a one-year period. Redemption is not extra time to stay in the house. Use the actual notice and sale date to check your deadlines promptly.

Yes. A sale generally does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes over as landlord subject to it. Alabama security deposits generally cannot exceed one month’s rent, with extra amounts allowed for pets, changes to the home, or added liability risk. After the tenancy ends and the tenant returns possession, the landlord generally has 60 days to mail the refund and an itemized account of lawful deductions. Ending a month-to-month tenancy generally takes at least 30 days’ written notice before the periodic rental date; a week-to-week tenancy generally takes at least seven days’ written notice. A fixed-term lease or other legal protection may require a different approach.

Usually, yes, but a sale does not erase an open order, assessment, or lien. Alabama law lets municipalities repair or demolish an unsafe building after required notice and process, then assess the cost against the property as a lien. Local rules can also allow charges for weeds or debris. Check the issuing city’s notice, amount, and deadline with the city and closing attorney; the rules depend on the municipality and property.
