Can I sell an inherited or probate house in Naples?
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 Naples properties, the local steps run through the Collier County Circuit Court (20th Judicial Circuit) and the Collier County Clerk of Court.
How probate works in Collier County
Here's how a probate case usually moves in Collier County, which includes Naples. Knowing where you are on this timeline tells you how much room you have to sell.
Open probate
A petition is filed in the probate division of the Collier County Circuit Court (20th 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.

Do I have to clean out the house first?
No. We buy inherited houses with the contents. Take what you want and leave the rest.

Often, yes. Once the court appoints a personal representative they can sign for the estate, though some sales need a court order. Your probate attorney will confirm what's needed.

If the owner lived in Collier County, probate is opened in the probate division of the Collier County Circuit Court (20th 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.
