Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. You can tell us what the family wants to keep; the written terms can identify what stays with the house.
If the house remains in the family while decisions are made, carrying costs such as utilities, insurance, property taxes, and maintenance can continue. You do not have to assume the house is unwanted to compare a sale with keeping it, renting it, or listing it.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
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.
Compare a written offer with your likely costs and other sale options. The result depends on the property, title, estate authority, payoff, and written terms.
Open the Morgantown home-sale net-proceeds calculator →In West Virginia, an executor must qualify before acting for the estate. If there is no will, the county commission or its clerk handles appointment of an administrator, and the real estate passes to the heirs. The actual appointment and title records matter.
If the will gives the executor power to sell real estate that was not specifically left to someone else, the executor may sell it unless the will says otherwise. If the will directs a sale, the executor or an administrator with the will annexed may carry it out. Without a usable power of sale, the title company or a qualified attorney needs to confirm the owners and who must sign.
A decedent's real estate can still be reached to pay estate debts. A surviving spouse may also have an elective-share claim, with a statutory time limit. The live estate and property records determine what applies.
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.
West Virginia charges a real estate transfer excise tax of $1.10 per $500 of value, or fraction, plus an additional county excise tax. The additional tax starts at 55 cents per $500 and a county commission may raise it to as much as $1.65 per $500. The base combined rate is $1.65 per $500; do not assume the maximum rate applies in Monongalia County. State law places the tax on the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax.
This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Often, yes, but the will and estate status control who may sign. An executor must qualify before acting for the estate. The will’s power-of-sale language, whether the property was specifically left to someone, and the title records matter. Have the title company or a qualified attorney confirm the authority and required signers for this house.
