â Truth: In many cases, you can sell before or during probateâespecially with professional guidance.
If you’ve recently inherited land, you’re likely juggling grief, family decisions, and complex paperwork. Itâs common to hear, âYou canât sell it until probate is over.â And while that can be true in some situationsâitâs not always the case.
In fact, you may be able to sell inherited land before or during probate with the right support and approach.
Letâs clear up the confusion.
â ď¸ Why This Myth Causes Delays
The probate process is often associated with lengthy legal proceedings, court filings, and the idea that the heirs must âwait their turnâ before doing anything with the property. Thatâs why many landowners assume:
- The land must sit for months or years
- They canât even think about selling yet
- The legal process must be fully complete before moving forward
But thatâs not always the caseâespecially with vacant land.
â The Truth: You Can Sell Inherited Land in Many Cases
Hereâs what most people donât realize:
If youâre an heir or executor, you can often sell the property during probateâespecially if the estate allows it or the court approves it. Even in cases without a will, there are pathways to transfer ownership or sell the land while probate is still pending.
At TB Properties Buys Land, we regularly help sellers navigate inherited land situations, including:
- Properties tied up in probate
- Heirs spread across multiple states
