Inheriting a house in Texas comes with its own set of questions, questions that have nothing to do with real estate and everything to do with probate, taxes, distance, and what to do with a house full of someone else’s life. We work with families through exactly this, and we’ve put together honest, straightforward answers to the questions we hear most.

None of this is legal or tax advice, it’s general information based on what we’ve learned helping families sell inherited property. For anything specific to your situation, especially probate authority and deadlines, talk to a probate attorney or a free HUD-approved housing counselor. For tax specifics, talk to a CPA.
If you’d rather just talk it through, give us a call. We buy inherited houses as-is, in any condition, and we’re happy to answer what we can and point you to the right professional for what we can’t.
