🧾 What Is Probate, and How Does It Work in Virginia?
Probate is the legal process of validating a will, settling debts, and distributing property from a deceased person’s estate.
In Virginia, this happens through your local Circuit Court. The process includes:
- Filing the will (if there is one)
- Appointing an executor or administrator
- Inventorying assets (like real estate)
- Paying debts and taxes
- Distributing what’s left to heirs
If a house is part of the estate, it can be sold—but you may need court approval depending on your role and timing.

⚖️ Who Can Sell a House in Probate?
Only the personal representative (also called the executor or administrator) has the authority to sell property during probate in Virginia.
To sell legally, you must:
- Be officially appointed by the court
- Act in the best interest of all heirs
- Get court approval if required (especially without a will)
Need help figuring this out? We’ve worked with Virginia probate attorneys and title companies to make these sales smooth.
⏳ How Long Does Probate Take in Virginia?
Most Virginia probate cases take 6 to 12 months—but that doesn’t mean you have to wait that long to sell.
You can often sell:
- Before probate closes, with court approval
- After letters of administration are granted
- As-is, with any mortgage, liens, or needed repairs still on the property
At The Cash Offer Company, we work with the timeline of probate—not against it.
🏠 Selling an Inherited House As-Is
Inherited properties often come with:

We handle it all—no cleaning, fixing, or clearing out required.
