Confirm ownership and authority first
The deed, estate plan, probate case and family circumstances determine who can sign a sale contract and deed. A Missouri probate attorney or title professional can confirm whether probate, personal-representative authority or additional documents are required.
Decide what to do with the contents
You may remove keepsakes and important records while leaving unwanted furniture, household items or debris for an as-is buyer to evaluate. The written agreement should clearly state what remains and who is responsible for removal.
Compare listing, keeping and selling directly
A market listing may provide greater retail-price exposure but can require repairs, cleanout, showings and additional time. Keeping the house may involve insurance, taxes, utilities and maintenance. A direct sale emphasizes simplicity and timing.
Review mortgages, liens and estate expenses
A title company typically confirms ownership, mortgage payoffs, liens and closing requirements. Sale proceeds and estate obligations depend on the specific property and estate; obtain legal or tax advice when needed.
Request an as-is inherited-property offer
Call 314-279-4922 or submit the secure form with the address, current ownership status, occupancy, condition and preferred timeline. Requesting a review does not obligate the estate or heirs to sell.
