Inherited a house

You inherited a house. Nobody hands you a manual for what's next.

A parent's home, a lifetime of belongings, maybe siblings with opinions, and a probate process you never asked to learn. You don't have to figure all of it out before you talk to us.

Sound familiar?

  • The house sits two hours away and every empty month costs taxes, insurance, and worry
  • It's full, basement to attic, and the thought of clearing it out is paralyzing
  • Siblings or co-heirs who all want it "handled" but don't agree on how
  • Probate paperwork you've never seen before and a title that isn't in your name yet

What you won't have to do

  • Clean out a single closet
  • Make repairs or updates
  • Fly back to Wisconsin for the closing
  • Decide anything before the estate is ready

How we help

Here's how this actually goes.

1

We meet the house where it is

Full of furniture, dated, in disrepair, it does not matter. Take the photo albums and anything you love. Leave the rest, down to the last box, and we handle it.

2

We work around probate, not against it

We've bought many inherited Wisconsin homes and we know the rhythm of the process. If the estate isn't ready to close yet, we line everything up and close when it is. Your attorney or the county's probate office sets the pace; we simply don't add pressure to it.

3

One clean number, no guesswork

A written cash offer you can put in front of every heir, and we'll gladly explain to any of them how we got to it. If listing it would serve the estate better, we'll say so.

"We met with Dan on a Monday and we closed on our house the following Friday. This was a property that my Father died in and I just wanted it gone. Dan made the process so easy and fast. I'm so relieved to have this chapter of my life over!"

Straight answers

Questions people in your spot ask us

The estate is still in probate. Can we even talk yet?

Yes. We can look at the house, write the offer, and wait for the estate to be ready. In Wisconsin, many estates qualify for simplified processes, and your attorney or the county register in probate can tell you which applies. We're happy to coordinate timing with them. What we won't do is give you legal advice, because you deserve a real attorney for that.

There are several of us who inherited it. How does that work?

Usually the personal representative signs for the estate, or all heirs sign together, depending on how the title passes. We've closed both ways. We put everything in writing so every heir sees the same numbers, and the title company makes sure every signature that's needed is collected.

What about everything inside the house?

Take what matters to you, whenever you've had the time to go through it. Everything else, furniture, boxes, the garage, stays with the house and becomes our problem, not yours.

Questions about this situation

Can I sell before probate is finished?
Often yes, though it depends how the estate is being administered. Wisconsin offers informal administration for most straightforward estates, and very small estates can sometimes transfer by affidavit without full probate. The personal representative generally needs authority to sell before closing. We work with estate attorneys regularly and can time the closing around the court's schedule.
There are several heirs and we do not all agree. Can you help?
We can make everyone the same written offer, in writing, so there is a real number on the table to discuss instead of an argument about what the house might be worth. We cannot resolve the disagreement itself — that is for the family, and sometimes for the estate's attorney — but a firm figure with a firm date often makes the conversation much shorter.
The house is full of a lifetime of belongings. Do we have to clear it?
No. Take the photographs, the furniture that matters, and anything with meaning, and leave the rest exactly where it is. We handle the cleanout. This is the single most common thing heirs apologise to us for and the single least important thing to us.
Can I sell a house I inherited if it is still in probate?
Usually yes, though the timing depends on how the estate is being handled. Wisconsin offers informal administration for most straightforward estates, and very small estates can sometimes transfer by affidavit without full probate at all. The personal representative typically needs authority to sell before closing. We work with the estate's attorney regularly and can time the closing around the court's schedule. See our inherited property page.
What if the house has tenants in it?
We buy occupied rentals regularly and you do not need to remove anyone first. Leases transfer with the property, so we take the tenants along with the house and handle the relationship from closing forward. Please do tell us about any tenant who has stopped paying — it does not sink the deal, we just need to know.
Do I have to fill out a Wisconsin real estate condition report?
For most 1-4 family transfers Wisconsin requires the seller to provide a real estate condition report, though certain sellers — a personal representative settling an estate, for example — are exempt. Either way, we are buying as-is with our eyes open, so disclosing a problem to us does not cost you anything. The title company will tell you exactly which forms apply to your sale.
