We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.

While an estate is being sorted out, carrying costs can include property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, and a mortgage, if there is one. The bills and any payoff are specific to the property; they do not disappear just because the house was inherited.

A family relationship, being named in a will, or having the keys is not enough by itself to show who can sign. In Minnesota, a personal representative generally must be appointed, qualify, and receive Letters before taking on that role. Minnesota Statutes section 524.3-103 describes that appointment step. Letters are the official papers showing who has been appointed; check that they are current and whether they list co-representatives, restrictions, bond conditions, or later court orders.
The deed and title records also matter. Survivorship, a transfer-on-death deed, a trust, a life estate, or another arrangement may mean the house does not pass through the estate. A specific gift in a will, a surviving spouse's homestead interest, co-representatives, or an order can affect who must sign or consent. Have the title company or a qualified attorney review the actual deed, current Letters, will, and court file.
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.
Minnesota deed tax depends on the instrument and its net consideration. The state statute sets a baseline of $1.65 when net consideration is $3,000 or less, and 0.0033 of net consideration when it is above $3,000. The closing professional must classify the actual deed and applicable tax treatment; an estate distribution deed and a direct sale to a buyer are not interchangeable. Read the Minnesota deed-tax statute.
Minnesota's Department of Revenue says deed tax is not due on a qualifying deed of distribution by a personal representative. That does not automatically make a direct estate sale or a later sale by an heir exempt; the actual instrument controls. See the Department of Revenue's guidance on deeds of distribution.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Goodhue County's 2026 fee schedule lists $46 for statutory document recording. That is one posted recording-fee line, not a total for recording or closing. See the Goodhue County fee schedule.

Being related to the person who died, being named in a will, or having the keys does not by itself establish authority. A personal representative generally must be appointed, qualify, and receive current Letters. The estate file and the property title determine whether the house is part of the estate and who must sign.
