An inherited property starts costing the estate money immediately — property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance. A cash sale closes in 7–14 days and stops that drain. We work with Michigan probate attorneys, buy as-is, and handle the complexity so you don't have to.
In Michigan, you can sell an inherited property as fast as the probate process allows. If the estate has Letters of Authority (Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration), a cash sale can close in 7–14 days. If probate is not yet complete, you can sign a purchase agreement now — contingent on receiving authority — then close once the court grants it. The key is not to wait: every month the estate holds the property costs money in taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
Written offer in 24 hours. Close in 7 days or on your schedule. No fees, no repairs.
In Michigan, the personal representative (executor) named in the will has authority to sell real property under EPIC (Estates and Protected Individuals Code, MCL 700.1101 et seq.) once Letters Testamentary are issued by the probate court. In a supervised administration, court approval may be required before sale. We work with your Michigan probate attorney to structure the sale correctly — signing early, closing when authority is confirmed. You don't need probate to be complete before contacting us.
An inherited Michigan property immediately becomes an estate liability. Typical monthly carrying costs: property taxes ($200–$600), homeowner's or vacant property insurance ($150–$350), utilities to prevent freeze damage ($80–$200), lawn and exterior maintenance ($50–$200). Total: $480–$1,350+ per month — not counting any mortgage balance. A 6-month traditional sale process can cost the estate $3,000–$8,000 in carrying costs before the first dollar reaches heirs.
When an estate has multiple beneficiaries, all with ownership interest, all must agree to the sale and all must sign the purchase agreement. We're experienced in multi-heir transactions — coordinating separately with each party, providing the same information to all, and maintaining a neutral position in any family dynamic. We'll work with your probate attorney to ensure the sale satisfies court requirements.
Michigan inherited property sales can be completed entirely remotely. DocuSign for purchase agreements, remote online notarization (permitted in Michigan under MCL 55.265), and wire transfer at closing. Many of our inherited property closings are completed without the personal representative ever stepping foot in Michigan.
