What we do with an inherited house
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
While the estate owns the house, carrying costs can continue: property taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep. Selling is one way to stop those ongoing bills after closing; the house does not have to be unwanted for those costs to matter.

Indiana estate rules and sale costs
Often, an inherited Indiana house can be sold before probate is finished. Who may sign depends on the estate documents, the deed, and any court restrictions.
- A court-appointed personal representative in an unsupervised estate can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order, subject to the statute and any court restrictions (Indiana Code § 29-1-7.5-3(a)(25), subject to § 29-1-7.5-2(d)).
- A will can give the personal representative power to sell. If neither that authority nor the unsupervised-estate route applies, a court order may be needed (Indiana Code §§ 29-1-15-2 and 29-1-15-3).
- A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner’s death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate (Indiana Code § 32-17-14-11).
Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions before setting a closing date. 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. That does not include the seller’s mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Have the title company confirm the property-specific amounts.

Questions about selling an inherited house in Monticello
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. A will can 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. 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 an inherited house?
It depends on the estate and the deed. The appointed personal representative in an unsupervised estate may generally sell estate property without a separate sale order, and a will may grant the representative power to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed. Have the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions reviewed before setting a closing date. 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.
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. Check the recorded deed and title before relying on that route.
Do I need to clean out or repair the house first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
Can I sell from another state without visiting the property?
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 and property-tax costs should I account for?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not include the seller’s mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Confirm property-specific amounts with the title company.
