Selling an Inherited House in Mountain Home, ID

Often, yes. Once appointed, the personal representative—the person appointed to handle the estate—can sell estate land at a public or private sale unless the will or a court order in a formal case limits that power. No separate court order is needed.

Usually, the court-appointed personal representative signs for estate property. Their powers begin at appointment. Unless the will or a court order in a formal case limits that power, they can sell estate land at a public or private sale without a separate court order.

You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

No. Idaho’s small-estate affidavit lets a successor collect certain personal property, but it does not transfer a house. For an estate subject to probate worth $100,000 or less after liens, a successor may use the affidavit 30 days after death if no personal representative or summary-administration application is pending or granted.

Idaho has no state real estate transfer tax. Counties mail property-tax bills in November; payment is due December 20, or half by December 20 and the balance by June 20 of the next year. A county recording fee applies to a deed. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
