Benefits of Selling Your Probate Property to
House Buyers Cash
Expedite the Probate Process
Time is often of the essence in probate cases. Our quick cash offers and flexible closing dates can significantly speed up the estate settlement process, reducing stress and potential conflicts among beneficiaries.
Guaranteed Sale
Unlike traditional buyers, our cash offers are rock-solid. You won’t have to worry about deals falling through due to financing issues or cold feet. When we make an offer, we stand by it, providing certainty in an otherwise uncertain time.
No Realtor Fees
Selling a probate property through traditional means can eat into the estate’s value with hefty realtor fees. By selling directly to us, you’ll save an average of 6% in agent commissions, and keep more equity from your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is probate, and how does it affect selling a house in Texas?
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate, including validating their will (if one exists), paying off debts, and distributing assets to heirs. In Texas, probate can affect the sale of a house in several ways:
- If the deceased left a will, it must be validated by the court before the property can be sold.
- If there’s no will, the court will appoint an administrator who must follow specific procedures to sell the property.
- Depending on the type of probate (dependent or independent), court approval may be required at various stages of the sale process.
- The executor or administrator has a fiduciary duty to sell the property for a fair price, which can impact negotiation flexibility.
How long does the probate process typically take in Texas
The duration of probate in Texas can vary widely depending on several factors:
- For a simple estate with no contests and an independent administration, probate can be completed in as little as 6 months.
- More complex estates or those with disputes among heirs can take 1-2 years or even longer.
- If the deceased left a well-prepared estate plan, including a will that allows for independent administration, the process is typically faster.
- Selling a property during probate can sometimes be done relatively quickly, especially when working with a cash buyer like House Buyers Cash, even if the entire probate process takes longer.
Do I need court approval to sell a probate property in Texas?
Whether you need court approval to sell a probate property in Texas depends on the type of probate administration:
- In an independent administration, which is common in Texas, the executor generally has the authority to sell property without specific court approval.
- In a dependent administration, court approval is typically required before the property can be sold.
- Even in independent administration, if the will doesn’t explicitly grant the power to sell real estate, or if beneficiaries object to the sale, court approval may be necessary.
- It’s always advisable to consult with a probate attorney to ensure you’re following the correct procedures for your specific situation.
How does selling a probate property to House Buyers Cash differ from a traditional sale?
Selling a probate property to House Buyers Cash offers several advantages over a traditional sale:
- Speed: We can often close in as little as 7 days, compared to months for traditional sales.
- Certainty: Our cash offers eliminate the risk of buyer financing fall-throughs, which is especially valuable in probate situations where time and certainty are crucial.
- As-Is Sales: We buy properties in any condition, saving you the cost and hassle of repairs that might be necessary for a traditional sale.
- No Realtor Fees: You save on the typical 5-6% realtor commission, maximizing the value for the estate.
- Simplified Process: We handle much of the paperwork and can work directly with your probate attorney to ensure a smooth transaction.
- Flexible Closing: We can work around the probate timeline, adjusting our closing date to align with court approvals if necessary.
Can House Buyers Cash purchase a property if probate hasn't been granted yet?
While we can’t complete the purchase before probate is granted, we can certainly begin the process:
- We can assess the property and make an offer before probate is granted.
- A purchase agreement can be signed, contingent on probate approval.
- This approach can speed up the sale process once probate is granted, allowing for a quick closing.
- We’re experienced in working with estates at various stages of the probate process and can adapt our approach to your specific situation.
How do you determine the offer price for a probate property?
At House Buyers Cash, we determine our offer price for probate properties through a comprehensive evaluation process:
- We consider current market conditions and recent sales of comparable properties in the area.
- The property’s location, size, and overall condition are key factors in our assessment.
- We factor in any necessary repairs or renovations, as we buy properties as-is.
- Our team considers the unique aspects of probate sales, including the need for a fair market value to satisfy fiduciary duties.
- We aim to provide a competitive offer that balances the estate’s need for a fair price with our ability to close quickly and without complications.
- Our goal is to make an offer that’s beneficial for the estate while still allowing us to make necessary improvements and resell the property.
