Handling a probate property? Does your situation sound like one of these?

Settling an estate is hard enough without a house sitting empty and draining money every month. We buy probate and inherited properties at any stage — often before probate is even finalized.

You’re the executor or administrator and need to sell the estate’s house
Multiple heirs disagree on what to do with the property
The home has sat vacant while probate moves through the courts
Property taxes, insurance, or utilities are piling up on an empty house
You inherited the property from out of state and can’t manage it long-distance
The house needs repairs or a full cleanout no heir wants to fund

Already past probate and just deciding what to do with the house itself? Visit our Inherited Property page for repairs, cleanout, and out-of-state selling info.

Questions about selling a probate property in San Antonio

What families ask us before calling.

Can I sell a house that’s still in probate?
In many cases, yes — you don’t have to wait until probate is fully finalized to start the process. Depending on your state, county, and where things stand with the executor or administrator’s authority, we can often begin working with you and your attorney before the estate is fully closed. Reach out and tell us where things stand; we’ll let you know exactly what’s possible for your situation.
Do I need to wait until probate closes before selling?
Not necessarily. Once the executor or administrator has been granted the legal authority to act (often through letters testamentary or letters of administration), a sale can frequently move forward even while other parts of probate are still being finalized. We coordinate with your probate attorney to make sure everything is handled correctly and in the right order.
What if there are multiple heirs who disagree?
This comes up often, and we’re used to navigating it. We can provide a cash offer that all heirs can review together, which frequently helps move a disagreement toward a resolution — a clear number on the table is often easier to agree on than an abstract discussion about repairs, listing prices, or timelines.
Do I need to clean out the house before selling?
No. We buy the property exactly as it sits, including any furniture, belongings, or items left behind. You are welcome to take anything of sentimental or personal value first, but there is no obligation to clear out the rest before closing.
What if there are outstanding debts or liens against the estate?
Outstanding debts, liens, or unpaid property taxes tied to the estate are common in probate situations and do not prevent a sale. We factor these into our offer and can walk you through exactly how they’d be settled at closing. Let us know the full picture when you reach out.
How fast can you actually close on a probate property?
Once you have the legal authority to sell and title is clear, we can close in as little as 7 days. If probate is still in progress, the timeline depends on when that authority is granted — we stay in close contact with your attorney so we can move the moment you’re able to. Call 210-920-7915 and we can give you a realistic timeline for your specific situation.
