Selling Inherited Land? Land Ally Makes It Easy and Fair

May 20, 20254 min read

Land ownership has long been part of the American dream—often passed down from one generation to the next. But as times change, so do the circumstances and priorities of landowners. If you’ve recently inherited land, you may be unsure what to do with it, especially if it’s in another state or needs legal attention before it can be sold.

That’s where Land Ally comes in. With over 20 years of experience and a nationwide footprint, we help landowners sell their inherited land quickly, fairly, and without the headaches of traditional real estate.

Why So Many Americans Are Selling Inherited Land

You’re not alone. Inherited land often comes with unexpected challenges:

  • You live in a different state

  • The land is undeveloped or difficult to access

  • You share ownership with other heirs

  • The property is stuck in probate

  • You don’t want to pay ongoing taxes or maintenance costs

For these reasons and more, a direct land sale with Land Ally is often the smartest move.

The Land Ally Advantage

We make land sales simple, secure, and stress-free by offering a direct-to-buyer model with no fees or commissions.

✅ Direct Land Sale – No Agents, No Commissions

Traditional real estate agents charge 5–10% in fees and may list your property for months without a buyer. With Land Ally, you sell directly to us. No listings. No agents. No waiting.

✅ Fair, Market-Based Offers

Our team analyzes your land based on local sales comps, zoning, and condition. You receive a transparent, no-obligation cash offer—with no pressure and no gimmicks.

✅ We Buy in All 50 States

Whether your inherited land is in Texas, North Carolina, Florida, or anywhere else, Land Ally buys land nationwide. This is perfect if your property is out of state and hard to manage.

✅ Sell As-Is

You don’t need to clear brush, repair fences, or install utilities. We buy land in any condition, whether it’s raw, wooded, or partially developed.

Understanding the Probate Process for Inherited Land

If the property hasn’t already been transferred to your name, it likely needs to go through probate—a legal process that validates the will and allows the estate to transfer ownership.

What Is Probate?

Probate is required when the land wasn’t jointly titled or placed in a living trust. Until the court authorizes the estate to distribute assets, the land cannot be sold.

How Probate Works:

  1. File the Will and Open the Estate – This begins the legal process with the local probate court.

  2. Appoint an Executor or Administrator – Someone must manage the estate’s legal and financial matters.

  3. Inventory and Appraise Assets – The land must be documented and assigned a fair market value.

  4. Pay Debts and Taxes – All outstanding debts must be settled before distribution or sale.

  5. Sell or Transfer the Land – The court allows heirs to receive or sell the land.

🕐 Timeframe: Probate can take 6–18 months, depending on your state and estate complexity.
