Get Your Cash Offer NowClose Without Waiting for Probate to End
Florida executors can petition the probate court for authorization to sell before the estate fully closes. Court authorization typically takes 2–4 weeks. After that, we close in 7–14 days. Total time to cash in the estate account: as little as 5–6 weeks. No need to wait months or years for probate to conclude.
No Repairs Required
Estate properties are often vacant, outdated, or in disrepair. We buy as-is. The estate keeps every dollar of net equity.
We Handle the Paperwork
We coordinate with your probate attorney and title company. Executors don't navigate the court process alone.
All Liens Paid at Closing
Back taxes, HOA arrears, outstanding mortgages, and judgment liens are settled from sale proceeds. The estate receives the net balance.
Confidential Process
No "For Sale" signs. No public listings. The property isn't sitting vacant and exposed while heirs decide next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you sell a house before Florida probate closes?
Yes. An executor with Letters Testamentary can petition the probate court for authorization to sell the property under Florida Probate Code Chapter 733. After the court issues its order — typically 2–4 weeks — we close in 7–14 days. The overall probate process continues after the sale; the property transaction is one component within it.
Do all heirs need to agree to sell the property?
Yes, all beneficiaries with a legal interest must consent. If one heir objects, the executor can still petition the court to authorize the sale if it is in the estate's best interest — a judge may approve the transaction over a single objection. We work alongside your probate attorney throughout this process.
What happens to the mortgage and liens at closing?
All outstanding mortgages, back property taxes, HOA arrears, and judgment liens are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. The estate receives whatever net equity remains. No heir brings money to closing — everything is handled through the title company at settlement.
How fast can you close on a Florida probate property?
After court authorization is received, we close in 7–14 days. Court authorization itself typically takes 2–4 weeks in most Florida counties — Hillsborough and Orange tend to move faster than Miami-Dade. From our first call to cash in the estate account: typically 5–8 weeks total.
The Cost of Waiting: Why a Vacant Probate Property Loses Value Every Month
Every month a Florida estate property sits vacant, it costs the estate money. Property taxes continue to accrue. Homeowner's insurance remains in effect (or lapses, creating liability). HOA fees don't stop because the owner died. Utilities — even minimal ones — add up. And the property itself begins to deteriorate: deferred maintenance compounds, pest intrusion increases, and curb appeal declines.
In a typical Florida probate scenario involving a single-family home with a $1,200 annual insurance premium, $4,800 in annual property taxes, and $150/month in HOA dues, the carrying cost runs approximately $900–$1,200 per month just to hold the property — before any maintenance or repairs.
Over a 12-month holding period, that's $10,800–$14,400 in pure carrying costs. That money comes directly out of the estate — out of what the heirs ultimately receive.
| Approach | Time to Close | Carrying Costs | Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wait for probate to close, then list with agent | 12–24 months | $10,800–$28,800+ | High — heirs, repairs, showings |
| List with agent during probate | 6–12 months | $5,400–$14,400 | High — court + financing contingencies |
| Cash buyer during probate (Pallas Growth) | 5–8 weeks | $1,125–$2,400 | Low — we handle coordination |
For most estates with a single Florida property, the math strongly favors selling quickly. The difference between 5 weeks and 12 months isn't just time — it's thousands of dollars of estate value.
