A Simple Solution for Selling an Estate Property

Probate can feel overwhelming, especially while you are grieving. Many estate homes need updates, still hold a lifetime of belongings or sit vacant while the case moves forward. We buy probate houses as-is and coordinate with the personal representative and attorney, so you can settle the estate without managing repairs or showings.

How Probate Works in Florida

Probate is the court process used to settle a person’s estate after they pass away. In Broward County, probate cases are handled by the 17th Judicial Circuit. The court appoints a personal representative who manages the estate, pays valid debts and distributes property to the heirs. Florida has two main types of probate. Summary administration is a shorter process for smaller estates, and formal administration is used for larger or more complex estates. Depending on the will and the type of administration, the personal representative may need court approval before selling the house.

Common Reasons Families Sell a Probate House

Every estate is different. We help Broward County families in situations like these.

Multiple Heirs Want Their Share

Selling the house turns it into cash that can be divided fairly among heirs.

The Home Needs Major Updates

Many estate homes have older roofs, plumbing or electrical systems. We buy them as-is.

Heirs Live Out of State

Managing a Fort Lauderdale property from another state is hard. We can handle most of the sale remotely.

Carrying Costs Add Up

Taxes, insurance, utilities and HOA dues keep coming while the estate is open.

Estate Debts Need to Be Paid

Selling the home can provide funds to pay valid estate debts and expenses.

Can You Sell a House During Probate?

Yes. A personal representative can often sell estate property while the probate case is open, as long as they have the authority under the will or a court order. We work with your probate attorney to make sure the right documents are in place before closing. Because we buy with cash, we can close on a timeline that fits the court schedule.

What About Florida Homestead Property?

Florida homestead laws can change how a primary residence passes to heirs. In some cases the court issues an order determining homestead status before the home can be sold. Your probate attorney can explain how these rules apply to your family’s property, and we will work around that timeline.

Do You Have to Clean Out the House First?

No. You can take the items you want to keep and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout after closing, so you don’t have to sort through every room, rent a dumpster or hire movers.

Keep, Rent, or Sell the Estate Home?

Heirs usually have a few options for a probate property.

Keep the Home

One heir may move in or buy out the others, which works if they can afford the payments and upkeep.

Rent It Out

Renting can bring in income, though it means managing tenants, repairs and insurance.

Sell It

Selling for cash settles the property quickly, avoids repairs and makes it easy to divide the proceeds.
