When someone passes away and the house wasn't in a trust or covered by a beneficiary deed, it usually goes through probate at the Pima County Superior Court. The court appoints a personal representative (often called the executor) to manage the estate.
Most Arizona probates are "informal." In an informal probate, the personal representative can generally sell the house without a separate court order or hearing. In a supervised probate, the court must confirm the sale. Your attorney can confirm which applies to you.
How we buy probate houses
1. Reach out early
You can call us before you're even appointed. We'll learn about the property and walk you through what a cash sale would look like.
2. Get a written cash offer
Once we see the property, we give you a fair, no-obligation offer. There is no listing, no showings, and no waiting on buyer financing.
3. Close through an Arizona title company
The personal representative signs the deed. Debts and liens are paid from the proceeds, and the remainder goes to the estate for distribution.
Why personal representatives choose a cash sale
- No repairs or cleanout: we buy the house exactly as it is, contents included.
- No carrying costs: every month an estate house sits, the estate pays taxes, insurance and utilities.
- Certainty: no buyer loans falling through, no inspection renegotiations.
- Simple for heirs: one clear price makes it easier to settle the estate and split proceeds.
- Out-of-state friendly: we coordinate everything locally and arrange mobile signing.
Small estates may not need probate at all
Since September 26, 2025, Arizona allows a small estate affidavit for real property with up to $300,000 in equity, available six months after the death. Personal property up to $200,000 can also be collected by affidavit. If the estate qualifies, the house may be transferred to heirs without a full probate, and then sold. Ask a probate attorney whether your estate qualifies.
We work with Tucson probate attorneys

Probate house FAQ
Can a house be sold during probate in Arizona?
Yes. Once the personal representative is appointed, they can usually sell the house. In most informal probates, no extra court approval is needed.
How long does probate take in Pima County?
Uncontested informal probates often take several months to close. A cash sale lets the house be sold while the estate is still open, instead of waiting.
Do all the heirs have to agree to sell?
The personal representative has the authority to sell, but it's wise to keep heirs informed. Disputes can move a case into formal probate, which takes longer.
What if the house has a mortgage or liens?
They're paid off from the sale proceeds at closing, before anything is distributed to heirs.
Can you buy a house that's full of belongings?
Yes. Take what the family wants to keep and leave the rest. We take care of the cleanout.
