The probate court appoints the personal representative who handles the estate’s house sale. In independent administration, the representative generally can sell without another court order, within the will’s limits and for the estate’s benefit. In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order; a will may give the executor power to sell. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Missouri’s Constitution bars new state and local taxes on a real-estate sale or transfer after December 2, 2010. Deed recording fees still apply: $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees set by law. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
