Nebraska charges a documentary stamp tax when a deed transfers real estate, and the seller signing the deed owes it by law. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nebraska's documentary stamp tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Often, yes, if you close before the foreclosure sale. Nebraska's process depends on whether the loan is secured by a trust deed or a mortgage. With a trust deed, after the notice of default is recorded, you generally have one month to cure a payment default before the loan's original maturity; certain farm properties have two months. After that period, the trustee may publish a sale notice once a week for five weeks, with the last notice 10 to 30 days before the sale, and must mail you a copy at least 20 days before the sale. A mortgage foreclosure goes through court. You can file a written request to delay the sale within 20 days after the court's decree. The delay can be nine months, or three months for covered residential mortgages whose original final payment was more than 20 years after the foreclosure complaint, or six months when it was more than 10 but no more than 20 years after the complaint. You can redeem by paying the judgment, interest, and costs before the court confirms the sale. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Often, yes, once the person signing has legal authority. In Nebraska, a personal representative—the person appointed by the county court to handle the estate—gets that authority on appointment, and the court's letters are proof of it. A will or court order can limit the representative's power, so the title company will need the authority for this property confirmed before closing.

Yes. A sale does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes the house subject to it and becomes the new landlord. The seller remains responsible for the tenant's security deposit and prepaid rent unless they are transferred to the buyer with written notice to the tenant. Bring the lease, deposit records, access details, and possession expectations into the conversation.

Yes, you can ask about selling with an open code issue. A sale does not by itself remove a city charge or lien, and the city notice may have its own deadline. Keep the notice handy and confirm the status and next step with the city that issued it.

You can call before every document is gathered. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. A deed, lease, estate appointment, payoff, tax, lien, or court paper can help answer a specific question, but you do not need to have everything figured out before calling.
