Selling an Inherited House: A Step-by-Step Guide

Inheriting a home is emotional and complicated. Here’s how to navigate the sale.

First steps

Confirm how title passes — through probate, a trust, or survivorship. You generally can’t sell until you have legal authority to act.

Your options

An as-is purchase (Accelerated Settlement) is common for out-of-state heirs. Equity Protection can pursue more if the home is market-ready. Seller Advantage can turn equity into income.

Taxes and debts

Inherited property may carry tax considerations and liens. Consult an estate attorney and tax professional.
