What we do with the house and its contents
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to finish repairs or clear the house before asking about a sale.
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. Tell us what the family wants to keep so the written terms can identify what stays with the property.
While a house is in an estate, bills such as property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can continue. A sale is one option to compare; inheriting a house does not mean the family has to sell it.
What happens next
- Talk with us about the New Castle address, the house, its contents, and what you know about the estate.
- We review the property and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You can review the written offer and terms before deciding. If you choose to sell, the sale closes through a title company.
Signing from another location
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 what you may keep
Compare a written offer with a possible listing using your own estimates for the house, costs, and carrying time.

An inherited Indiana house may sometimes be sold before probate is finished. A court-appointed personal representative in an unsupervised estate can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order, subject to statutory limits. A will may also give the representative power to sell; if neither applies, a court order may be needed. The appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions determine whether the sale can proceed.
A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner's death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. The deed and title records need to be checked for the specific property.
For assessment, tax-record, or payment questions, contact the Henry County Assessor, Auditor, or Treasurer. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
Local estate, deed, and tax help
The Henry County Clerk's Office can help with court-document requests, and the Recorder's Office handles recorded deeds. For assessment or tax-bill questions, contact the county Assessor, Auditor, or Treasurer. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Questions about selling an inherited house
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, subject to statutory limits. A will may 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.
