Max Cohen Real Estate Investor

"I know being an Executor is a thankless job. I know the emotional toll of sorting through Decades of Memories. I see vacant homes deteriorating from Deferred Maintenance while families argue over price. Unlike Traditional Real Estate Agents who demand repairs and staging, I buy the estate exactly as it stands. No cleanouts. No commissions. We handle the Probate Court paperwork so you can focus on your family."

The Hidden Risks of Holding an Inherited Home

The Insurance Trap

Most homeowner policies automatically cancel if the home is vacant for 30+ days. You are likely uninsured against Vandalism & Squatters right now.

The Sibling War

One heir wants to rent it, one wants to sell, and one wants to move in. Selling for cash is the only way to split the equity fairly and end the Family Dispute.

The Tax Time Bomb

While you might get a step-up in basis, property taxes don't stop. In some states, the Medicaid Recovery Program (MERP) can put a lien on the home.

The Executor's Handbook: Navigating Inheritance

Understanding Probate vs. Non-Probate

Not every inherited home requires a full probate filing. If the property was held in a Living Trust or had a Transfer on Death Deed, you might be able to skip the court entirely. However, if the deed is solely in the deceased's name, you will likely need "Letters Testamentary" from the Probate Court to legally sign the closing documents.

The Capital Gains Advantage

Many heirs fear a massive tax bill. The good news is the Step-Up in Cost Basis. The IRS values the home at its market value on the date of death, not the date it was originally purchased. If you sell quickly, your capital gains tax is often zero. We recommend consulting a CPA, but speed is your best tax strategy here.

Dealing with Deferred Maintenance

Parents often stop maintaining their homes in their later years. We frequently see issues like Cast Iron Plumbing failures, Federal Pacific electric panels, and roof leaks. Bringing a 1970s home up to 2024 code for a retail buyer can cost $50,000+. We buy the home with the defects, assuming all the risk so you don't have to manage contractors.

Repair Item Est. Cost Our Approach
Full Roof Replacement $12,000 - $20,000 We Buy As-Is
HVAC System $6,000 - $10,000 We Buy As-Is
Foundation Stabilization $5,000 - $30,000 We Buy As-Is

Max's Insight: Do not spend money fixing a house you don't intend to live in. You rarely get a 100% return on renovation costs. Sell it, take the cash, and let us handle the construction mess.

Common Probate Questions

What happens to the mortgage on an inherited house?
The mortgage is attached to the house, not the person. However, the estate must keep payments current, or the lender will foreclose. Most mortgages have a "Due on Sale" clause, but federal law allows heirs to take over the loan in many cases. We pay off the mortgage entirely at closing.
Do I need to be in the same state to sell?
No. We specialize in working with out-of-state executors. We can email the purchase agreement for electronic signature and use a mobile notary for the final closing documents. You never have to travel to the property.
Can you buy if there is no Will?
Yes. This is called "Intestate Succession." The state determines who the heirs are (usually spouse, then children). We work with Title Companies that specialize in solving these heirship issues to ensure clear title before closing.
Does the house need to be empty?
Absolutely not. Take the items you want to keep (photos, jewelry, heirlooms) and leave the rest. We will handle the donation, trash, and cleaning. This saves you thousands in dumpster and labor costs.
How quickly can we get the money?
Once title work is clear, we can close in as little as 7 days. Funds are wired directly to the estate account or split among heirs at closing, depending on your specific probate situation.
