How Long Does It Take to Sell an Inherited House in Florida?
The timeline for selling an inherited home depends on factors like probate requirements, title issues, and whether all heirs agree to the sale.
If Probate Is Avoided:
Tools like Lady Bird deeds, revocable trusts, or joint ownership with survivorship rights allow direct asset transfer without probate, enabling a quick sale.If Probate Is Required:
Probate typically takes 2-3 months for simple cases but can stretch to a year or more for complex estates (e.g., contested wills, outstanding debts, or tax filings).
Once the title is clear, you can sell the property. If you choose Trivanci LLC, we can close in as little as 7-14 days, even if the property needs repairs or is tied up in probate.
Can You Sell an Inherited Home Without Probate?
Yes, in certain situations, you can sell an inherited home without probate, such as:
Lady Bird Deed: This deed allows property transfer to beneficiaries without probate while the original owner retains control during their lifetime.
Revocable Trust: If the property is held in a trust, it bypasses probate, and the trustee can sell it directly.
Joint Ownership with Rights of Survivorship: Ownership automatically transfers to the surviving owner(s), enabling a straightforward sale.
If probate is required, Trivanci LLC works with experienced probate professionals to guide you through the process and help you sell quickly.
Selling an Inherited House During Probate
You can sell an inherited property during probate if:
The Will Allows It: Some wills include a “power of sale” clause, authorizing the personal representative to sell the property without court approval.
Debts Must Be Paid: Non-homestead properties may be sold to satisfy creditors.
Court Approval Is Granted: If the estate administrator petitions the court, the sale can proceed.
If the home qualifies for a simplified process like Summary Administration, the timeline shortens significantly. We can help you navigate these options and make the sale smoother.
Do All Heirs Have to Agree to Sell the Property?
Ideally, all heirs agree on selling the property. However, disagreements can lead to delays or legal action.
Partition Lawsuits: If heirs can’t agree, a co-owner can file a partition lawsuit, allowing the court to order a sale or division of the property.
Sell Your Interest: Trivanci LLC can purchase a partial interest in the property and help facilitate the remainder of the process.
Our team is experienced in handling properties with multiple heirs, ensuring a fair and efficient resolution.
Taxes on the Sale of an Inherited Home
While Florida doesn’t have inheritance or estate taxes, selling an inherited property may involve federal taxes:
Capital Gains Tax: Calculated based on the “stepped-up basis” (the home’s value at the time of inheritance). Expenses like closing costs and repairs can reduce your taxable gains.
Depreciation Recapture Tax: Applies if the property was used as a rental or income-generating asset.
Estate Tax: Only applicable for estates exceeding the federal exemption limit ($13.61 million for 2024).
We recommend consulting a tax advisor to understand your specific obligations.
Ways to Sell Your Inherited Home
Here are your options for selling an inherited home:
1. Work with a Real Estate Agent
Agents can help market the property and negotiate with buyers but come with commission fees (5-6%). This process can take months, especially if the home requires repairs or updates.
2. Sell to a Real Estate Investor (Trivanci LLC)
Selling to Trivanci LLC offers the fastest and easiest solution. We buy homes as-is, with no need for repairs, showings, or lengthy negotiations. We handle the paperwork, allowing you to close in just a few weeks.
3. For Sale By Owner (FSBO)
This option allows you to save on commissions but requires significant time and effort to market, negotiate, and manage the sale process.
4. Auction
Auctions can be effective for unique properties or fast sales but may result in lower offers.
