Inherited a house? Here's how selling works.
Taking care of a loved one's home can be a lot, especially while grieving or living out of town. If selling makes sense, we can buy the house as-is, contents included, on a timeline that fits the estate.

Probate and inherited homes in South Carolina
In South Carolina, most estates go through the probate court in the county where the person lived. The court appoints a personal representative, who generally has the authority to sell estate property once appointed. If the home was held jointly with survivorship rights or in a trust, probate may not be needed. Every estate is different, so talk with a South Carolina probate attorney about your specific case.
Your options
Keep the house
Move in or keep it as a rental. You'll take on taxes, insurance, and upkeep.
List with an agent
Often the highest price if the home is in good shape, but usually means repairs, cleanout, and showings.
Sell as-is for cash
Skip repairs and cleanout. Useful when heirs live far away or want a simple, quick close.
