Navigating Probate in Florida: How Homeinc Can Help You Sell an Inherited Property

Losing a loved one is hard enough. Dealing with their property through the Florida probate process shouldn’t make it harder — but for many families, it does. Whether you’ve recently inherited a home or you’re the executor of an estate, understanding your options can help you move forward with confidence.

At Homeinc, we work with families and executors across Florida every day to make selling inherited properties as simple and stress-free as possible.

What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process by which a deceased person’s estate is settled — debts are paid, and assets are distributed to heirs. In Florida, if someone passes away owning real property in their name alone (without a trust or joint ownership), that property typically must go through probate before it can be sold or transferred.

The Florida probate process is handled through the circuit court in the county where the property is located. Depending on the size and complexity of the estate, it can take anywhere from a few months to over a year to complete.

Can You Sell a Home During Probate in Florida?

Yes — but the process requires court approval. The personal representative (also called the executor) of the estate is authorized to manage and sell estate property, but must follow specific legal requirements, including notifying heirs, creditors, and in some cases seeking court approval for the sale.

This is where many families feel overwhelmed. The paperwork, timelines, and legal steps can pile up quickly — especially when you’re also grieving.

How Homeinc Makes It Easier

Homeinc has extensive experience working with probate properties throughout Florida. Here’s how we help:

• We understand the process. Our team is familiar with Florida probate law and can work alongside your probate attorney to coordinate a smooth sale.
• We buy as-is. Inherited homes often need repairs or cleanouts. You don’t need to spend a dollar fixing anything — we’ll take the property exactly as it is.
• We move at your pace. Probate has its own timeline, and we work around it. Whether you need to close quickly once probate is complete or need extra flexibility, we accommodate your situation.
• No commissions, no fees. There are no real estate agent fees or hidden costs — just a fair cash offer with a straightforward process.

Common Probate Situations We Help With

Every estate is different, but Homeinc frequently assists families in situations like these: an only child who has inherited a parent’s home and doesn’t want to manage or maintain it; multiple heirs who need to agree on a sale and divide proceeds; estates with outstanding mortgages, liens, or unpaid taxes; and properties that have been vacant for months and are beginning to deteriorate.

What to Do First

If you’re dealing with a probate property in Florida, here are the first steps we recommend:

1. Consult a probate attorney — An attorney can guide you through the legal requirements specific to your county and estate.
2. Get the property assessed — Understanding its condition and value helps you make informed decisions.
3. Reach out to Homeinc — We can give you a no-obligation cash offer and walk you through what a sale would look like once probate is settled (or in some cases, before it’s finalized).

You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

Probate is stressful, but selling the property doesn’t have to be. Homeinc is here to take one thing off your plate — and make sure you walk away with a fair result.
