Can I sell an inherited or probate house in Orlando?
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.
In Orlando, that means working with the Orange County Clerk of Court's records and a Florida title company we close with regularly.
How probate works in Orange County
Here's how a probate case usually moves in Orange County, which includes Orlando. 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 Orange County Circuit Court (9th 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's different about Orlando
Orlando's housing ranges from 1920s bungalows near downtown to newer subdivisions in the southeast. Hurricane Ian caused inland flooding in parts of Orange County in 2022, and the Orlando metro's tourism-driven economy makes income swings common.
We buy inherited and probate houses in College Park, Parramore, Pine Hills, Conway, MetroWest, Washington Shores and Audubon Park, and anywhere else in Orlando and the rest of Orange County.

What Orlando homeowners ask about probate
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.
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 Orlando house?
If the owner lived in Orange County, probate is opened in the probate division of the Orange County Circuit Court (9th 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.
