Land Ally Helps Land Owners by Buying Their Inherited Land
Inheriting land can stir up complex emotions. While it may feel like a cherished gift from a loved one, the practicalities of managing, maintaining, or selling that land can be confusing—especially for those who live far away or have never dealt with real estate before. That’s where Land Ally steps in, providing a simple, transparent way for heirs to sell inherited land without stress or uncertainty.
Why Inherited Land Becomes a Burden
According to a study by the Federal Reserve, around 40% of inherited real estate is sold within five years of inheritance, and vacant land is often the hardest to manage due to unclear titles, back taxes, or zoning complications. Many heirs don’t live near the property and have no desire to develop or hold it long-term.
When faced with property taxes, maintenance issues, or complex probate procedures, selling the land often becomes the best choice—but traditional methods involving real estate agents and listings are rarely efficient for rural or vacant land.
Understanding the Probate Process for Landowners
Probate is the legal process of validating a deceased person’s will and distributing their assets, including real estate, to heirs or beneficiaries. If you’ve inherited land, you may not be able to legally sell it until it has gone through probate—especially if the deed was still in the name of the deceased.
When Is Probate Required?
When the land was titled solely in the deceased’s name
When there is no living joint tenant or designated beneficiary
When there are disputes among heirs or debts that must be settled
Key Steps in the Probate Process:
Filing the Will – The executor files the will with the local probate court.
Appointing a Personal Representative – The court authorizes someone (often named in the will) to act on behalf of the estate.
Notifying Creditors and Heirs – Legal notices are published and sent to interested parties.
Inventory and Appraisal – All estate assets, including land, are valued.
Paying Debts and Taxes – The estate settles outstanding obligations.
Distributing Assets – Once cleared, the land can be transferred to heirs or sold.
This process can take several months to over a year, depending on the state and complexity of the estate.
Simplified Probate for Small Estates
Some states offer simplified probate for estates below a certain value—often called summary administration or small estate affidavits. If the inherited land’s value qualifies, heirs may be able to avoid a lengthy probate process.
Tip: Always consult with a local probate attorney to understand your rights and options. Land Ally’s team can help connect you with trusted legal professionals if needed.
