Selling an inherited home can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve never gone through the probate process before. Below are answers to some of the most common questions Florida families ask when deciding what to do with an inherited property.
Probate
Probate is a court-supervised process for identifying and gathering the assets of a deceased person (decedent), paying the decedent’s debts and distributing the decedent’s assets (including home) to his or her beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the will. In general, the decedent’s assets are used first to pay the cost of the probate proceeding, then are used to pay the decedent’s funeral expenses, then the decedent’s outstanding debts, and the remainder is distributed to the decedent’s beneficiaries. There are two types of probate administration under Florida law: formal administration and summary administration. There is also a non-court-supervised administration proceeding called “Disposition of Personal Property Without Administration.” If you have not hired an attorney to handle Probate, we can pay our recommended Probate Attorney to handle all the paperwork involved for you and handle the legal aspects for you. This will save you time, money and headaches and allow you to sell the home much quicker.
Cash Home Buyer Florida has purchased many properties in Florida that have gone thru the probate process. It’s possible that we may even be able to buy the property before the probate process is completed. Additionally, our attorney may be able to handle the probate and buy the home even if there was no will.

Understanding the Florida Probate Process
Probate is the legal process used to settle a person’s estate after they pass away. Depending on the size of the estate and how assets were titled, probate may or may not be required before an inherited property can be sold.
In general, the probate process may include:
- Appointing a Personal Representative (Executor)
- Identifying estate assets
- Paying outstanding debts and taxes
- Distributing assets to heirs
- Obtaining court approval when required
Every estate is different, which is why it’s important to consult with a qualified Florida probate attorney if you have legal questions.
We’re not attorneys and do not provide legal advice. Once you’ve decided selling the property is the right choice, we’re here to make the selling process simple.

I worked with John Patton in the sale of my property. There were a few complications along the way which John greatly attributed his time to getting resolved in a timely manner. John really fought for me in the sale of my property and I couldn’t be more pleased with him and the service that he provided. I am thankful for his diligence in helping me. I would highly recommend him.
John was amazing start to finish. He took what was honestly a nightmare for our family and turned it around. He was easy to work with and straightforward, there were no games or low offers, and the whole thing was kind of a relief. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to have called a random number on the internet just to see what they say, he saved us countless hours of work and money just to sell anyway.
John was straight-forwarded, courteous, and sincere from the start. Communications / responses were swift. The entire process was uncomplicated and smooth. I highly recommend them.
I can’t recommend John Patton with Cash Home Buyer Florida enough! From start to finish, the process was smooth, transparent, and incredibly fast. I needed to sell my home quickly due to a job relocation, and he ensured my timeline was met. He was extremely professional, communicative, and made me feel confident every step of the way. If you’re looking to sell your home without the stress of traditional real estate, this is the company to go with. Thank you for making this such a positive experience!
What a great experience from the start…I was helping my grandma (granny) sell her home that got flooded during the last hurricane…she’s 80 years old and didn’t want to deal with rebuilding her home…I called Cash Home Buyer and felt a breath of fresh air with their professionalism, help through the process, and how quickly and efficient the process was…I would recommend them if anyone is looking to sell their home at a cash price!!! Thanks and God bless!!!
