Can I sell an inherited or probate house in Boca Raton?
Yes. In Florida the personal representative can sell estate property once appointed by the probate court, and some sales need a court order first. We buy inherited houses as-is, clean-out included, and close on the estate's timeline.
For Boca Raton properties, the local steps run through the Palm Beach County Circuit Court (15th Judicial Circuit) and the Palm Beach County Clerk of Court.
How probate works in Palm Beach County
The steps below follow Florida statutes and the offices that handle them in Palm Beach County, which includes Boca Raton.
Open probate
A petition is filed in the probate division of the Palm Beach County Circuit Court (15th Judicial Circuit). The court decides between summary administration and formal administration.
Summary or formal
Summary administration is available if the estate subject to administration (less exempt property) is $75,000 or less, or the person died more than two years ago (s. 735.201).
Personal representative
In formal administration the court issues Letters of Administration naming the personal representative, who can then act for the estate.
Creditor period
Notice to creditors is published; most claims must be filed within 3 months of first publication (s. 733.702).
Sell the house
If the will grants a power of sale, the personal representative can usually sell; otherwise the court may need to approve it. Protected homestead follows special rules.

What Boca Raton homeowners ask about probate
What if the house was the person's homestead?
Florida homestead has special protections and can pass outside the normal creditor process. The rules depend on whether there was a surviving spouse or minor child, so check with the estate's attorney.
What is summary administration in Florida?
A shorter probate process for estates of $75,000 or less (not counting exempt property) or where the person died more than two years ago (s. 735.201, Fla. Stat.).
Where is probate opened for a Boca Raton house?
If the owner lived in Palm Beach County, probate is opened in the probate division of the Palm Beach County Circuit Court (15th Judicial Circuit). If they lived elsewhere in Florida it's opened in that county, and out-of-state owners need ancillary administration in the county where the house sits.
