Understanding the Probate Process for Landowners

If you've inherited land, you may need to go through probate before you can legally sell it. Here's what you need to know:

What Is Probate?

Probate is the court-supervised legal process that ensures a deceased person's assets—including land—are transferred to the right heirs. Whether or not there's a will, many properties must go through probate unless they were held in a trust or jointly owned.

How the Probate Process Works:

  1. Open the Estate – File a petition in probate court, usually in the county where the deceased lived or where the land is located.

  2. Appoint an Executor or Administrator – The court officially names the person who will manage the estate.

  3. Inventory the Property – List all assets, including real estate, and assign value.

  4. Settle Debts and Taxes – Before any sale, outstanding debts and taxes must be paid.

  5. Sell or Distribute the Land – If the land is to be sold, you may need the court’s approval.

🕐 Typical Duration: 6–12 months
💰 Typical Cost: $1,500–$5,000+, depending on legal complexity and state laws

Can You Sell Land During Probate?

Yes—with court approval, in most cases. Land Ally can provide a contingent cash offer during probate, which may help with legal and estate planning. Our team works closely with probate attorneys and title companies to ensure a smooth, compliant sale.
