Get Your Free Cash OfferLosing a loved one is hard enough. Selling their property through probate adds legal complexity, financial strain, and family tension on top of grief.
Probate in Cook County can take 6-12 months. Courts move slowly, and every sale needs court approval under the Illinois Probate Act (755 ILCS 5/). Navigating petitions, notices, and hearings while grieving is overwhelming.
While probate drags on, you're responsible for mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance on a property you may not even live near. These carrying costs add up fast and eat into the estate's value.
Multiple heirs often disagree on price, timing, or whether to sell at all. Emotions run high during estate settlement. A neutral cash offer can simplify decisions and give every heir a clear, fair outcome.
We've helped dozens of Chicago families sell probate properties with minimal stress. Here's how it works.
Call us at (630) 290-9959 or fill out the form below. Tell us about the property and where you are in the probate process. We'll walk you through your options at no cost.
We evaluate the property as-is and present a fair cash offer within 24 hours. No inspections you have to arrange, no appraisals to schedule, and no repairs to make before we buy.
We work with the probate court schedule and coordinate with your attorney. Once the court approves the sale, we can close in as few as 7 days. You walk away with cash in hand.
We specialize in probate transactions and understand the legal requirements that make these sales different from a typical home sale.
No cleanouts, no repairs, no staging. The house can be in any condition. We handle everything after closing, so you never have to set foot inside if you don't want to.
We coordinate directly with your probate attorney to handle the court petition, notice requirements, and sale approval. We've been through this process many times and know what the court expects.
We understand the requirements of 755 ILCS 5/ including court-supervised sales, independent administration authority, and the notice requirements that must be met before closing.
We can handle properties with multiple heirs, even when they live in different states or disagree on the sale. A fair, transparent cash offer makes the decision straightforward for everyone.
You pay zero commissions, zero fees, and zero closing costs. The cash offer we present is the amount you receive. No surprises at the closing table.
Our offers aren't contingent on bank approval or appraisals. When we say cash, we mean it. No deals falling through at the last minute because a buyer's loan was denied.
Yes. In Illinois, the estate representative (executor or administrator) must be appointed by the court and receive Letters of Administration or Letters Testamentary before they can legally sell property. We can guide you through this process and work with your probate attorney to make sure all paperwork is in order before we close.
A straightforward probate in Cook County typically takes 6-12 months. However, contested estates or those with complex assets can take longer. We can make our offer early in the process so you are ready to close as soon as the court approves. This way, you are not scrambling to find a buyer when the court gives the green light.
We can make our offer and sign a contract at any time, but the actual sale typically requires court approval. In some cases, a Small Estate Affidavit may be used for estates under $100,000 in value, bypassing formal probate entirely. We are flexible and work with your timeline, regardless of where you are in the process.
We deal with this regularly. A fair cash offer from a neutral third party can help resolve disagreements by removing the guesswork about the home's value. All heirs receive their share of the proceeds based on the estate plan or intestacy rules. We can work with each heir's attorney if needed to make sure everyone is informed and comfortable.
Yes. We buy the house as-is, including any personal property left inside. You do not need to worry about cleaning out the home before closing. Take the items that matter to you and leave the rest to us. We handle the cleanout, disposal, and any remaining property after the sale is finalized.
Outstanding debts and liens are common in probate properties. Under the Illinois Probate Act (755 ILCS 5/), debts of the decedent are paid from estate assets in a specific order of priority. When we purchase a probate property, the title company handles lien payoffs from the sale proceeds at closing. Our team works with the estate attorney to identify all encumbrances upfront so there are no surprises.
We guide you through every step of the probate sale process so you can focus on your family.
