Selling a House in Indiana -- What You Need to Know
No Transfer Tax
Indiana abolished its real estate transfer tax in 2009. No state, county, or local deed transfer tax exists in Indiana. A Sales Disclosure Form (Form 46234) is required at recording -- this is a process step, not a tax. The County Auditor endorsement is required before deed recording at the County Recorder.
Judicial-Only Foreclosure
Indiana is a judicial-only foreclosure state -- there is no non-judicial, power-of-sale, or trustee's sale option. Lenders must file a civil lawsuit in county Circuit or Superior Court. 2009 Indiana reform added mandatory settlement conferences for residential foreclosures. Typical timeline: 6-12 months. For most residential properties, there is no post-sale right of redemption.
Probate (Circuit Court)
Indiana uses Circuit Court for probate -- not a separate Probate Court. Allen County: Allen County Circuit Court (Probate Division), 715 S. Calhoun St., Fort Wayne IN 46802, (260) 449-4246. Indiana small estate affidavit (IC § 29-1-8-1) available for qualifying smaller estates -- consult an attorney for current threshold.
No Attorney Required at Closing
Indiana does not require an attorney at real estate closings. Title companies handle most residential closings. Attorneys are optional but commonly used for complex transactions.
