Helpful Mississippi rules
Yes. In Mississippi, an executor may sell estate real estate before the estate closes when the will gives the executor authority to sell or the Chancery Court orders the sale. A family member cannot sign for the estate only because they are an heir.
The will, appointment, any court order, and title determine who can convey the property. We can discuss an as-is sale with the person handling the estate while those documents are reviewed.
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax. Deeds have recording fees, and the county Chancery Clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge. Check the current fee for the document with the County or closing professional.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
