We Buy Heirship Interests in Texas. Any Share, Any County.
If a relative passed away and you own a piece of their house or land, you own an heirship interest. Most people find that out from a tax letter, a phone call, or a cousin who heard it from somebody. Then they find out nobody will buy it.
We will. I’m Raul Bolufe. My company buys an heirship interest in Texas property every week, from one heir at a time, with nobody else’s signature. I’m not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. It is how we do it.
What is an heirship interest?
When someone dies and nothing goes through probate, the property does not go to “the family.” It goes to specific people in specific pieces. A son might own a fourth. A grandchild might own a twelfth because their parent already passed.
That piece is your heirship interest. You can’t live in a fourth of a kitchen. But you can sell it.
Most buyers want the whole house with a clean title. A bank won’t lend on a slice. A title company won’t insure one. So the person holding an heirship interest gets told no by everybody, and the taxes keep coming.
That is the exact spot where we come in. If it is a house, here is how selling your share of an inherited house in Texas works.
Will you really buy just my share?
Yes. We do it all the time.
We buy an heirship interest of any size. One percent. Ninety nine percent. Everything in between. It does not matter if:
- Nothing ever went through probate
- The house is still in your parent’s or grandparent’s name
- Your brothers and sisters won’t sign, or won’t call you back
- Some of the heirs can’t be found at all
- The family is fighting, or the heirs are distant cousins who have never met
- There are back taxes, liens, code violations, or judgments on the property
Nobody has ever called me because their inheritance was going smoothly.
Do you buy anywhere in Texas?
Yes. Anywhere in Texas. Houston and Harris County, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Liberty, Bell, Ector, Smith County, the small towns in between. Houses, mobile homes, vacant lots, and land with no address at all.
What happens after you buy my heirship interest?
You are done. You get paid, and the rest is our job.
Here is what we do with the other heirs:
- We reach out. Phone, text, voicemail, email, and letters.
- If someone can’t be found, we hire private investigators. We have found heirs who had no phone and no fixed address.
- If someone won’t answer, the outside attorneys we work with reach out.
- If they still won’t answer, the attorneys take the legal route. Sometimes that ends in court.
That last step is our fight, not yours. You sold your heirship interest and walked away. You don’t have to sit in the middle of a family fight to get your money out.
How do you price an heirship interest?
Straight answer. Every one is different, and the offer is less than your percentage times the value.
Say you own 25 percent of a house worth $100,000. Most people think their heirship interest is worth $25,000. That is the number if everything goes perfect. The title is clean, every heir signs, nobody owes anything.
That almost never happens. When we buy your share, we take over everything:
- The back taxes
- Liens, judgments, and code violations
- The legal fees and the title work
- Finding and dealing with every other heir
- The time it takes, which can be a long time
So the offer is a big discount from that perfect number. What you get in return is speed and an exit. We pay for an heirship interest in 3 to 5 days. We don’t wait for a title company to clear the whole title before we pay you for your piece.
What moves the price:
- What the property is worth
- How much is owed in taxes, liens, and judgments
- How many other heirs there are, and how hard they are to reach
- How messy the title is
- How long it will take to fix
Once you sell to us, the taxes and liens are our problem. We call, we negotiate, we pay them. Liens are a normal Tuesday for my team.
What do I need to send you?
Almost nothing. If you have the death certificate, send it. A lot of offices will only give a death certificate to family, so that is the one thing that really helps us.
If you have family tree papers, an old deed, or an obituary, great. If you don’t, that’s fine. We pull the records, build the family tree, and figure out who owns what. Our own team gets title reports back within 24 hours, which is a big reason heirs get paid so fast.
What if I live out of state?
You never have to come to Texas.
We send you the paperwork ahead of time so you can read it at home. Then we book a mobile notary near you. The notary sits down with you, goes over everything, and you sign. The payment instructions are in the paperwork, and that is how we pay you.
We have bought from heirs all over the country. One of our Fort Bend County land deals came from an owner who lives in Alabama.
Heirship interests in land, not just houses
A lot of the heirship interest calls we get are about land. A lot with a dead grandfather’s name on the tax roll. Acreage out in the county that nobody has walked in years. Land with no address.
We buy those too. A few we have bought:
Twenty landlocked acres near Pearland, Brazoria County. The owner had passed. His widow lived in Florida. There was no road to the property and a couple of years of back taxes on it. The title company wanted paperwork on the family before anything could move. We pulled the records, did the family paperwork, handled the taxes, and bought it. She never had to fly to Texas to deal with a piece of dirt she couldn’t drive to.
A lot on Lawrence Drive in Montgomery County. Vacant land. We bought it, and it is for sale now.
Vacant land in Fort Bend County. The owner lives in Alabama. She signed and was done. We took it from there.
Not an heir? Still call me.
If you are connected to a property that needs to be sold, I want to hear about it. A co owner, a family member helping a parent, a neighbor who knows the house sat empty after the owner died. Tell me what you know and I will tell you if we can help.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell my heirship interest if my siblings won’t sign?
Yes. Your heirship interest is yours to sell. We buy it from you alone and deal with your siblings after that. More on that in do all heirs have to agree to sell.
Do I need an affidavit of heirship first?
No. We do that paperwork. Here is what an affidavit of heirship is if you want to know what it looks like.
What is the smallest share you will buy?
We have bought very small shares. If you own a piece, call. The size alone almost never stops a deal.
What if there are back taxes and the county is about to sell it?
Call fast. We pay back taxes all the time, and it is part of why we can move when nobody else will. See inherited house back taxes in Texas.
Will I get pulled into a lawsuit after I sell?
Not on our deals. When something ends up in court, it is between us and the heir who would not answer. The heirs who already sold are out.
Is this a scam? Someone sent me a letter about my share.
Fair question. Ask any buyer for their name, their company, and their reviews, and never pay anybody upfront. We never charge an heir a fee. You can read our reviews from families who sold to us.
