Inherited a House You Do Not Want to Keep?
Not every inherited property fits your plans. You may already own a home, live in another city or state, or simply have no need for another property.
Keeping the house can mean taking on ongoing costs such as taxes, utilities, insurance, lawn care, snow removal, and maintenance.
If selling makes more sense for your situation, Bill Buys Houses can provide a direct cash offer and help you move forward without having to prepare the property for the traditional market.

Sell an Inherited House Without Making Repairs
Inherited homes are not always move-in ready. Some have been owned by the same family for decades and may need updates to roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, or other areas of the property.
You do not need to spend money renovating the home before contacting us.
We buy inherited houses as is throughout Minnesota, including properties that need major repairs, cosmetic updates, or extensive cleanup.
Dealing With Belongings and Years of Clutter?
One of the most overwhelming parts of inheriting a home can be dealing with everything left inside.
Furniture, clothing, personal items, old appliances, boxes, and years of accumulated belongings can make preparing the property for sale feel like a major project on its own.
You do not necessarily need to completely empty the house before selling. Bill Buys Houses purchases properties in their current condition, helping families avoid some of the cleanup and preparation that often comes with a traditional sale.
Multiple Heirs or Family Members Involved?
Inherited properties can become complicated when several family members have an interest in the house. One person may want to keep it, another may want to sell, and others may live too far away to help manage the property.
Once the appropriate parties are able to sell the home, a direct cash sale can provide a straightforward way to turn the property into an asset that can be distributed without months of showings, negotiations, and financing delays.
Our goal is to make the property sale itself as simple and predictable as possible.

Can I sell a house I inherited in Minnesota?
Yes. Once you have the legal authority to sell the property, an inherited house can be sold just like other real estate. Depending on how the property was owned and how the estate is being handled, probate or other estate administration steps may need to be completed first. If you do not want to keep the home, Bill Buys Houses can purchase inherited properties throughout Minnesota in as-is condition.
Do I have to go through probate before selling an inherited house in Minnesota?
Not every inherited property requires the same probate process. Whether probate is necessary depends on factors such as how the property was titled, whether there was a trust, and how the estate is structured. If the property is part of a probate estate, the personal representative generally needs the proper authority before completing a sale. An estate attorney or the appropriate Minnesota county court can help determine what applies to your situation.
Do I have to pay taxes when I sell an inherited house in Minnesota?
Possibly. Minnesota does not impose an inheritance tax, but taxes can still be relevant when inherited property is sold. For federal tax purposes, the property’s basis is generally its fair market value at the date of the previous owner’s death. If you sell the house for more than the applicable basis, you may have a taxable capital gain. Because every estate is different, consider speaking with a tax professional about your specific situation.
Can I sell an inherited house as is without making repairs?
Yes. You do not have to renovate an inherited house before selling it to Bill Buys Houses. We purchase inherited properties in their current condition, including homes that need repairs, have outdated interiors, contain unwanted belongings, or require extensive cleanup. This can help you avoid putting additional money into a property you do not plan to keep.
What happens if multiple heirs inherit a house and want to sell it?
When several people inherit the same property, the people with the legal ownership or authority over the estate generally need to follow the applicable estate process before a sale can be completed. If everyone agrees that selling is the best option, a direct cash sale can make the property transaction itself more straightforward. If heirs disagree about what should happen to the property, it may be necessary to obtain legal guidance before proceeding.
