What we do with the house and its contents
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Neillsville, in Clark County, Wisconsin. Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
You can keep the belongings you want. We can put in the written sale terms what stays with you and what remains at the house.
While the house remains in the estate, carrying costs can continue: property taxes, utilities, insurance, mortgage payments, and upkeep.

Who can sign for the estate?
Usually, a personal representative — the person appointed to act for the estate — with issued, unrevoked letters can sell estate property without a separate court order. The will still matters: follow any restriction on a sale, and a beneficiary specifically left the house generally must join in the sale. A court-order exception may apply when the estate cannot otherwise pay its required expenses and claims. A valid transfer-on-death designation may pass the house outside probate.
Before a closing date is set, the title company or a qualified attorney can check the deed, will, appointment papers, and any court orders.
Wisconsin law: Wis. Stat. § 860.01, § 860.11, and § 705.15.
Wisconsin real estate transfer fee
On a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. It is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. See the Wisconsin statute and Department of Revenue transfer-fee information. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from that promise.
Local estate and deed help
If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
The estate's court file and the home's location are separate questions. The office handling the live estate file can point you to its court records; the Clark County Register of Deeds provides access to recorded real-estate documents.
