Frequently Asked Questions — Heir Property Buyouts

A: Yes. This is exactly what we specialize in. We can buy YOUR share individually — without needing any other heir to agree, sign, or even be notified during your negotiation. Whether there are 2 heirs or 50, you can sell your piece right now. You don’t need a family vote. You don’t need everyone on board. You just need to reach out to us.

A: That’s the most common situation we deal with. It doesn’t matter whose name is on the deed. As long as we can verify through our research that you are a legal heir to that property, we can buy your share and we will handle fixing the title. You do not need to have gone through probate first or have filed any paperwork beforehand.

A: An Affidavit of Heirship is a legal document that lays out the facts of the family tree — who the deceased was, who the living heirs are, and how ownership of the property should be recognized. In Texas, this document is commonly used as an alternative to formal probate when someone passes away without a will. You do not need to prepare or file one before working with us. We prepare the Affidavit of Heirship for you as part of our process — at zero cost to you.

A: No. You do not need to complete probate before working with us. We handle the legal complexity. We work outside of traditional title and title insurance, which means we take on the legal risk so you don’t have to. You receive your money upfront. We deal with everything on the back end after you’ve been paid.

A: The basics are: a government-issued photo ID, a death certificate for the deceased, and your birth certificate to establish the family connection. If you have additional documents — a will, probate filings, family records — those help. But in most cases, the three documents above are enough for us to get started and we handle the rest of the research ourselves.

A: Once we buy your share, you are done and you’ve been paid. Our goal after that is to eventually purchase the remaining shares from the other heirs and acquire 100% of the property. We will reach out to the other heirs over time — that process might take a month or it might take a year. But that is entirely our responsibility to manage. You have no further obligation or involvement once you’ve been paid.

A: We keep your consultation and your negotiation completely confidential. We do not contact or inform the other heirs while we are working with you. Once we have completed the purchase of your share, we will at that point begin reaching out to the remaining heirs — because our goal is to eventually acquire 100% of the property. But that happens after you have already been paid and the deal is done.

A: Our standard timeline is 3 to 5 days from the moment we agree on a deal to the moment you have money in your account or in hand. The fastest we have ever completed an heir buyout from start to finish is 24 hours. A mobile notary comes directly to you to handle all the signing — you don’t travel anywhere.

A: You pay zero fees. Nothing comes out of your pocket. We cover everything — the Affidavit of Heirship, attorney review of all documents, notary fees, and any other legal costs associated with the transaction. Our compensation comes from the offer price we agree on, not from charging you additional fees on top of it.

A: This is a fair question and we always answer it honestly. When we buy an heir’s interest, we are doing so outside of traditional title and without title insurance. That means we are taking on significant legal and financial risk — it could take us one month or it could take us ten years to fully resolve the title and get the property in our name. We absorb all of that uncertainty. In exchange for that risk, the offer is at a discount to market value. What you get in return is cash in your hand right now, zero fees, zero legal headaches, and zero waiting. The vast majority of heirs we work with feel that is an extremely fair trade.

A: Yes. We are actively buying inherited properties across Texas with our primary focus on the Greater Houston Area — including Montgomery County, Brazoria County, Fort Bend County, and the surrounding region. We also work throughout the state of Florida. If you’re not sure whether we cover your specific area, just call or text us and we’ll let you know right away.

A: Not a problem. We can still buy your share even if there is an active mortgage on the property. We take over the responsibility of that mortgage as part of the transaction — even if the mortgage is under someone else’s name. You provide us with the details of the mortgage and we work through it. You walk away with no mortgage obligation.

A: That is completely fine and very common. We send a mobile notary directly to wherever you are — anywhere in the United States and even internationally. You never need to travel to the property, visit an office, or coordinate any logistics on your end. We handle all of that. You just need to be reachable by phone.

A: Yes, this is 100% legal. Every transaction we do is reviewed by our in-house paralegal (Kath) and our primary attorney (Dan). We also work with licensed title companies and additional attorneys as needed on each transaction. We can provide attorney contact information upon request. While Raul is not personally a licensed real estate agent, every document and legal structure used in our transactions is prepared and reviewed by licensed legal professionals.

A: Yes. You can sell your interest in the estate even while probate is already in progress. We are experienced in buying heir interests during active probate proceedings. You can receive your cash buyout now and we continue to work within the probate process on our end. Your deal does not have to wait for probate to conclude.
