Sell an Inherited House in Tucson, As-Is, for Cash

Inheriting a house is a lot to handle

Most families we talk to are grieving, busy, and often living out of state. The house may be full of a lifetime of belongings, need repairs, or have a mortgage and utility bills still running. Every month it sits empty costs money in taxes, insurance and upkeep.

We make it simple: one offer, no showings, and a closing date you pick.

How selling an inherited house to us works

Leave everything behind: no cleanout, no repairs

You can take what matters to your family and leave the rest. We handle the furniture, clothes, and decades of stuff in the garage. We buy houses with old roofs, outdated kitchens, foundation problems, and deferred maintenance, exactly as they are.

Can you sell an inherited house before probate is finished?

It depends on how the house was passed down. Here are the common situations we see in Arizona:

• Beneficiary deed: If the owner recorded a beneficiary deed, the house can pass to the named person without probate. Once that person records the deed with a death certificate, they can usually sell.
• Living trust: If the house was in a trust, the successor trustee can typically sell it without going to court.
• Small estate affidavit: Since September 26, 2025, Arizona heirs may be able to transfer real estate worth up to $300,000 in equity by affidavit, starting six months after the death.
• Probate: If none of these apply, the estate goes through probate. In most Arizona probates, the court-appointed personal representative can sell the house without a separate court order. See our probate page.

We are not attorneys and can't give legal advice. We work with Tucson probate attorneys and title companies regularly and can point you in the right direction.

Inherited a house with siblings or other heirs?

When several family members inherit together, deciding what to do with the house can get hard. A cash sale gives everyone a clear number and a fast, clean split of the proceeds at closing. If one heir wants to keep the house, we can talk about that too.

Inherited a house with a mortgage or back taxes?

The loan, any liens, and unpaid property taxes are paid off from the sale at closing. You don't need to bring money to the table in most cases. If the house is behind on payments, call us early so we can move before the situation gets worse.

Inherited house FAQ

Do I have to pay taxes when I sell an inherited house?

Arizona has no inheritance tax or estate tax. Inherited property usually gets a "step-up" in tax basis to its value at the date of death, which often reduces capital gains if you sell soon. Talk to a CPA about your situation.

How fast can you buy an inherited house?

Once the person with authority to sell is in place, we can often close in 7 to 14 days.

I live out of state. Can I still sell?

Yes. Most of our inherited-home sellers never set foot in the house again. We arrange a mobile notary for signing.

Do I need to clean out the house first?

No. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout.

Is there any obligation if I ask for an offer?

No. The offer is free and you're never obligated to accept it.
