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. Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
You can leave belongings in the house; hauling them away is not required to sell to us. The written terms can identify what stays. If the estate is still carrying the house, property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can continue to cost money while it remains unsold.

In probate, the court-appointed personal representative—the person appointed to handle the estate—sells for the estate. If the will gives that person a power of sale, Wyoming's statutory sale procedures do not apply.
If the will does not give the representative that power, the representative can ask the district court to authorize a sale after notice and a hearing. The court reviews the sale and orders delivery of the deed. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the estate.
A separate summary-distribution route may be available if the entire estate is worth no more than $400,000 after liens. A person entitled to inherit can apply for a court decree at least 30 days after the death; the decree is recorded with the county clerk. A homestead not set aside for a surviving spouse or descendants has additional court requirements, and they may have rights to its proceeds. Mortgages and liens still need to be paid or released for clear title.
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.
See Wyoming Statutes, Title 2 for the estate-sale and summary-distribution rules.
Wyoming transfer tax and closing costs
Wyoming does not impose a state real estate transfer tax. Recording a deed has state-set county clerk charges: $12 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, with extra charges in some cases. The closing professional confirms the exact charges for the documents being recorded.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Sources: Wyoming Statutes, Title 18 (recording charges) and the Wyoming Legislative Service Office transfer-tax research.
Sweetwater County estate and deed records
The Sweetwater County Clerk is the local land-records office. Use the county pages for current office information and deed-record routes; the title company or a qualified attorney can confirm how the live estate and property records apply to a sale.

Questions about selling an inherited house
Frequently Asked Questions — Rock Springs Inherited Property
Can I sell an inherited Wyoming house before probate is finished?
Often, yes. A court-appointed personal representative—the person appointed to handle the estate—may sell for the estate if the will gives that person a power of sale. Without that power, the representative can ask the district court to authorize a sale after notice and a hearing. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for this estate.
Do I have to put the house in my own name before selling it?
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.
Can a small estate use summary distribution?
If the entire estate is worth no more than $400,000 after liens, a person entitled to inherit can apply for a court decree of summary distribution at least 30 days after the death. The decree is recorded with the county clerk. The court and title professionals can confirm whether this route fits the estate and property.
Do I have to repair or clean out the inherited house?
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.
Can I sign from outside Wyoming?
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.
