You stop paying for a house and get a fair price.

Often, yes. If the will gives the executor power to sell, an appointed executor can generally sell without a separate court order unless the will says otherwise or a will contest is pending. Without that power, the executor or administrator can ask the district court for an order to sell. The will, deed, court papers, and title review determine who can sign and what the sale requires.

The executor or administrator can ask the district court for an order to sell, with notice unless notice is waived. A private sale generally requires an appraisal from the past six months and a price of at least three-quarters of the appraised value; the court confirms the sale. The estate file determines which steps apply.

After six months, heirs can ask the court to decide who inherited the real estate. The court record and deed determine the next step; do not assume that family relationship alone establishes who may sign.

A surviving spouse may be entitled to the homestead. Those rights need to be addressed along with the deed, will, and estate papers before deciding who can sign.

Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can take the belongings you want to keep; put what stays in the written terms.

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. The estate's signing authority and title requirements still need to be confirmed for the transaction.

Kansas does not charge a real-estate transfer tax or deed tax. The mortgage registration tax ended January 1, 2019. County recording fees are $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page; the exact charge depends on the document and page count. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

The mortgage balance remains a separate obligation. The title company uses the current payoff and closing file to determine how it is handled; the closing-cost promise does not pay the mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. That is not a guaranteed amount for a specific property or a promised closing date; the written offer and title process depend on the property facts and who has authority to sell.

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.
