Sell a Probate or Inherited House in Broward County

An inherited house in Broward County does not wait politely while a family sorts things out. The tax bill still arrives. The insurance still lapses if nobody renews it. A vacant house in Pompano or Lauderhill draws attention you do not want, and code enforcement is not sentimental about a lawn that has not been cut since the funeral.

We buy probate and inherited property throughout Broward. We work alongside whoever is handling the estate, we put our numbers in writing, and every closing goes through a licensed title company. If listing the house on the open market would put more money in your family's pocket, we will say so plainly, even though we make nothing when we do.

How probate works in Broward County

Broward probate matters are heard in the Probate Division of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, in the courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Florida offers more than one route. Formal administration is the full process. Summary administration is the shorter path for smaller estates. Disposition without administration covers a narrow set of very small estates.

Your attorney decides which fits. For selling the house, the practical question is narrower: can the personal representative convey clear title, and will a title company insure it.

The 2026 change that helps a lot of Broward families

On July 1, 2026, Florida raised the value limit for summary administration under Florida Statute 735.201 from $75,000 to $150,000. Homestead property does not count toward that limit.

That is a meaningful shift in a county where a modest house in Margate or North Lauderdale can be most of what an estate holds. Estates that were told last year they had to go the long way may qualify for the shorter path now. Ask your attorney to look again.

You can often start before probate is finished

Families lose months waiting for a case to fully close before they even begin a conversation about the house. Those months are not free. They are carrying costs on a property nobody lives in.

Estate property in Florida can frequently go under contract while the case is still open, with closing timed to when the personal representative can actually convey title. We coordinate that with the estate's attorney so nothing gets ahead of the court.

What our offer looks like

• A fair price in writing, grounded in an independent appraisal, not our opinion
• Sell exactly as-is, including a house that has sat empty and needs work
• Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout with care
• No commissions and no fees to us, ever
• You pick the closing date, and every closing runs through a licensed title company
• A three-day right to cancel on every agreement we sign

If an urgent cost lands before closing, a funeral bill or a past due mortgage payment, we can advance funds as an early part of your own proceeds and credit it back at the closing table. You are never trading your inheritance away for it.

Several heirs on one house

Most Broward estates we see involve more than one person. Two siblings, or five cousins, some living out of state, some who have not spoken in years.

We put every number in writing in front of every decision maker at the same time. Nobody gets a different version. Closing through a licensed title company means each heir's share is disbursed exactly as the estate directs, printed on the closing statement where everyone can check it.
