🏛️ Myth: Inherited Land Must Go Through Probate First

✅ Truth: In many cases, you can sell before or during probate—especially with professional guidance.

If you’ve recently inherited land, you’re likely juggling grief, family decisions, and complex paperwork. It’s common to hear, “You can’t sell it until probate is over.” And while that can be true in some situations—it’s not always the case.

In fact, you may be able to sell inherited land before or during probate with the right support and approach.

Let’s clear up the confusion.


⚠️ Why This Myth Causes Delays

The probate process is often associated with lengthy legal proceedings, court filings, and the idea that the heirs must “wait their turn” before doing anything with the property. That’s why many landowners assume:

  • The land must sit for months or years
  • They can’t even think about selling yet
  • The legal process must be fully complete before moving forward

But that’s not always the case—especially with vacant land.


✅ The Truth: You Can Sell Inherited Land in Many Cases

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
If you’re an heir or executor, you can often sell the property during probate—especially 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
  • Land without a clear title or recent documents
  • Estates without formal legal help yet

💼 We Help Simplify the Process

Here’s how we make selling inherited land easier:

  • 🔍 We do title research and help identify what’s needed to proceed
  • ⚖️ We work with probate-friendly title companies who know how to handle these situations
  • 🤝 We can coordinate with your attorney or personal representative
  • 💰 We buy the land as-is, without requiring cleanup, surveys, or even utilities
