Selling Inherited Land? Here’s Why Working Directly with Land Ally is the Smart Move
Owning land can feel like a windfall—until it becomes more of a burden than a benefit. If you’ve inherited land or simply no longer have a need for it, selling it may feel overwhelming. Between legal hurdles, emotional ties, and logistical headaches, many landowners find themselves unsure where to turn. That's where Land Ally steps in.
Why Sell Directly?
Most people assume that selling land means hiring a real estate agent, listing the property, and waiting months (or even years) for a buyer. But direct land sales with Land Ally offer key advantages:
1. Speed: Land Ally can close deals in weeks—not months—saving you time and hassle.
2. No Commissions: Avoid paying up to 6% in agent fees. With Land Ally, you keep more money in your pocket.
3. No Repairs or Listings: Forget the expense and effort of preparing your land for the market. We buy land in all conditions.
4. We Buy Nationwide: From forests in Georgia to desert plots in Arizona, we purchase land across the U.S.
Real Story: Carol’s Inherited Land in Alabama
Carol M. from Colorado inherited 15 acres of wooded property in Alabama after her uncle passed away. She hadn’t visited the land in years and had no idea what it was worth. Worse, she discovered the property was tangled in probate, and her cousins—whom she rarely spoke to—were partial heirs.
“I was overwhelmed,” Carol says. “I didn’t know if I needed a lawyer, a real estate agent, or just to let it go.”
She contacted Land Ally and was assigned a dedicated rep who helped her navigate the probate process, coordinated with the title company, and contacted the co-heirs to reach an agreement. Within four weeks, she had a signed contract and her share of the cash in hand.
“It felt like a miracle. I thought I’d be stuck with that land forever,” she says.
Understanding the Probate Process
If you've inherited land, the probate process is likely your first major obstacle. Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person’s estate—validating their will, paying debts, and transferring ownership of assets like land.
Steps in the Probate Process:
File the Will: Submit the deceased’s will to the probate court in their county.
Appoint an Executor: The court designates someone to handle the estate.
Inventory the Estate: This includes identifying all property and obtaining appraisals.
Settle Debts and Taxes: The estate must pay any outstanding obligations.
Distribute Assets: Once approved, land can be transferred or sold.
This process can take anywhere from 3 months to over a year. Land Ally works with heirs during or after probate and helps clear up title and ownership issues that often block traditional sales.
