Selling an inherited Florida property? We make it easy.

Usually no — title doesn't legally transfer to heirs until the probate court orders it. There are exceptions: small-estate summary administration can close faster (sometimes 30–45 days), and certain trust-titled properties bypass probate entirely. For formal administration, you typically need either (a) Letters of Administration plus an Order Authorizing Sale, or (b) all heirs signing through a deed-in-trust arrangement. We'll close on whichever the court order allows.

Formal administration: 6–9 months typical, sometimes 12+ if there's a will contest. Summary administration: 30–90 days. Disposition of personal property without administration: a few weeks. We can typically schedule our closing the same week the court issues the Order Authorizing Sale, so the rate-limit is the court, not us.

Most of our inherited-property sellers are out-of-state. We handle everything remotely: contract signed via DocuSign or RightSignature, deed signed at closing via mobile notary in your state (we pay the notary fee), wire to your bank the day of closing. You never have to fly to Florida. We'll do one walkthrough on our side to confirm condition; you can attend by phone or just send us a key.

Take whatever you want — photos, jewelry, paperwork, hand-pick items. We take the property AS IS, contents included. You don't need to clean out, donate, dump, or estate-sale anything. If there are things you want preserved (a piano, files, family heirlooms), tell us before closing — we'll either help coordinate movers or pause closing while you arrange retrieval.

Florida homestead law has special protections for surviving spouses and minor children. If a surviving spouse is involved, they often have a life estate or co-ownership interest that must be cleared in title. Our title attorney handles the homestead election on the order; you typically don't need to do anything beyond signing.

Probably much less than you'd expect. Inherited property in the US gets a 'step-up in basis' — your cost basis resets to the property's fair-market value on the date of death, not what your parent originally paid. So if Dad bought the house for $80k in 1985 and it was worth $400k when he passed, your basis is $400k. Selling to us for $380k is a $20k capital loss, not a $300k gain. This is general info, not tax advice — talk to your CPA.

Not a problem. Florida deeds are public records — we pull a title commitment as part of our underwriting. Our title attorney handles re-issuing whatever the closing needs. If you have a will or trust document, that helps establish the chain; if you don't, our attorney works with the probate court directly.

Yes. Multi-family inherited property is common — Dad built rental income; now you have to deal with tenants AND probate. We close around in-place leases routinely; Tiffany on our team runs property management and takes over landlord duties on day one of closing. You walk; we keep the rent rolling.

All 67 Florida counties — but the bulk of our inherited-property volume is South Florida (Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach), Tampa Bay (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco), and Orlando (Orange, Seminole, Osceola). We have title attorney relationships in each region. Smaller counties (Levy, Putnam, Madison) take a bit longer because we coordinate with a local attorney we don't usually work with — but we close.
