Gold marks deadlines. General information only. Your attorney or the county office can confirm what applies to your estate.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania handle estates differently: different offices, different forms, and different tax deadlines. Pick the state to see the steps that apply to you. If your loved one lived in one state and the house is in the other, both states' rules can apply, so give us a call and we'll help you sort it out.
There isn't one right answer. Here's what each path actually asks of you, so you can choose with your family.
A direct buyer purchases the house in its current condition, belongings and all.
Clean out, repair, stage, and sell on the open market.
One heir moves in, buys out the others, or the family rents it.
We're a local buyer in NJ and PA. We work around the estate's timeline, not the other way around.
Share the address and where the estate stands. No cleaning, repairs, or cleanout first.
We walk through the house and send a no-obligation cash offer, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
Close in a few weeks, or wait until letters are granted and heirs agree. Your attorney can review everything.
Sign at a local title company. Proceeds go to the estate, to be distributed the way the will or the law directs.
Inherited houses often come with surprises. These are ours to handle.
Warminster, Bucks County
An heir inherited a vacant house with belongings still inside and wanted a quick, as-is sale. Both the sewer and electrical inspections failed. We coordinated and paid for the inspections and permits, and the sale closed without the family fixing anything.
