Inheriting a property can be overwhelming, especially when the house requires updating, cleaning, or repairs. At True North Realty, we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We act as your strategic advisor to help your family choose the path that makes the most financial and emotional sense for your specific situation.
We offer two distinct solutions for inherited estates:
Option 1: The Fast, "As-Is" Sale If your family’s priority is speed and simplicity, we can provide a fair, as-is solution.
Option 2: The "Fix & List" Maximum ROI Plan If your family’s priority is walking away with the absolute highest net profit, a few simple, strategic updates can often yield a massive return on investment. We manage the process from start to finish.
Option 3: The Custom "Hybrid" Strategy No two estates are exactly alike. Sometimes the best path isn't a strict cash offer or a full-scale renovation—it's a customized approach designed specifically around your family's unique situation.
The process begins by filing the will (if there is one) and an application for probate with the county court. The court then enforces a mandatory waiting period of about two weeks before scheduling a hearing.
Within 90 days of being appointed, the Executor must submit a complete, sworn inventory of all the estate's assets to the court. During this time, legal notices must also be published in a local newspaper to alert any unknown creditors.
Once the court clears the estate of its debts, the remaining assets and property can finally be distributed to the heirs, and the estate is officially closed.
If a 12-month legal process doesn't align with your family's needs, reach out to us today. We specialize in creating custom exit strategies that can dramatically accelerate your timeline.
