Probate & Inheritance in New Hanover County
Dealing with probate can be a difficult and lengthy process, especially when it involves inherited real estate. In North Carolina, the probate process can take anywhere from 6 months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the estate and whether it's testate (with a will) or intestate (without a will). Navigating the New Hanover County Clerk of Superior Court can add to the burden, requiring specific legal filings and adherence to strict timelines.
If you've inherited a property in Wilmington and need to sell it quickly without the stress of repairs, appraisals, or realtor showings, we can help. We provide cash offers for inherited homes, allowing you to bypass the traditional market. Our team understands the nuances of probate sales and can work directly with estate executors and attorneys to ensure a smooth, quick closing, freeing you from a significant administrative load.
Foreclosure in North Carolina
Facing foreclosure is an urgent situation. In North Carolina, the foreclosure process is predominantly non-judicial, meaning it typically happens out of court, significantly shortening timelines. Once a borrower defaults, a Notice of Default is issued. After 30 days, the lender can initiate foreclosure. The non-judicial process generally moves quickly, with a sale often occurring within 60-90 days of the Notice of Intent to Foreclose. This compressed timeline leaves homeowners with limited options.
Selling your house for cash to MyFastCashOffer can be a viable solution to stop or delay foreclosure. We can often close fast enough to help you avoid the public record of a foreclosure, protecting your credit and allowing you to regain financial footing. We negotiate directly, bypassing banks and lengthy processes, offering a quick resolution when time is critical.
Permits & Code Violations
Older homes in Wilmington, particularly Brick Ranch style properties, often come with hidden issues or deferred maintenance. One common problem we encounter is the presence of deteriorating Cast Iron Pipes, which can lead to significant plumbing failures and costly repairs. Many homeowners don't realize that selling a home with these types of defects or unpermitted additions can create major headaches on the traditional market.
Buyers using conventional loans will demand that such issues are rectified before closing, leading to unexpected costs, delays, or even deal collapse. We eliminate this stress. We buy homes with existing permits issues, code violations, or the need for major overhauls, including updating old plumbing like Cast Iron Pipes. You don't have to spend a dime on repairs or worry about bringing your home up to current code. We take on that burden, allowing you to sell your house exactly as it is.
| Repair Type | Estimated Cost Range | Our Offer (No Repairs Needed) |
|---|---|---|
| Cast Iron Pipes Replacement | $8,000 - $15,000 | You Pay $0 |
| Roof Replacement | $10,000 - $25,000 | You Pay $0 |
| Foundation Repair | $5,000 - $30,000+ | You Pay $0 |
