Understanding the Legal Process
The first step in managing an inherited property is understanding the legal process in Texas. The steps you’ll need to take depend on whether or not there is a will in place.
- If there is a will: The deceased’s entire estate, including the property, must go through the probate process. This is the legal procedure to validate the will and ensure that the property is transferred to the rightful heirs.
- If there is no will: The process can be significantly different and may involve additional legal steps to determine rightful ownership. Be sure to check out our upcoming content where we’ll dive deeper into these scenarios.
Resolving Title Issues
One of the most common challenges with inherited properties is resolving title issues.
- What are title issues? These refer to any legal documents or filings that need to be addressed before the property can change ownership. Examples include unresolved mortgages, unpaid property taxes, or even judgments like unpaid child support.
- How we help: At Forged Home Buyers, we specialize in resolving these issues—whether they’re straightforward or complex. We’ll ensure that all legal barriers are addressed, so you can focus on the next steps.
Understanding Financial Implications
Selling an inherited home comes with financial considerations that can impact you, including taxes.
- Tax implications: How you sell the home and collect funds can affect your tax liability. While we’re not tax advisors, we’ll help you understand what to expect and guide you toward making informed decisions.
