Selling a House in Virginia After a Loved One Passes Away

🏡 Selling a House in Virginia After a Loved One Passes Away

Losing a family member is never easy—and the last thing you want to deal with is legal paperwork or home repairs.

If you’ve inherited a home or need to sell a property after someone has passed, you’re not alone.
Many Virginia families turn to The Cash Offer Company to help simplify the process and sell the house quickly and respectfully.

📜 Do You Have to Go Through Probate?

Most properties in Virginia must go through probate unless:

• The home was owned in a revocable trust
• It was titled jointly with right of survivorship
• There’s a transfer-on-death deed

If none of those apply, the executor (or court-appointed administrator) is responsible for handling the estate.

🧾 Who Has the Legal Right to Sell?

In Virginia, only the authorized executor or administrator of the estate can sell the property during probate.

That person is responsible for:

• Managing the estate’s debts
• Clearing any liens or mortgages
• Distributing proceeds to heirs
• Coordinating with the court (if needed)

Not sure who’s in charge? Check the will or contact your local probate court.

🧹 Do You Need to Clean or Repair the House First?

No—you can sell the house as-is, even if:

• It’s full of personal belongings
• There’s mold or water damage
• The home has sat vacant for months
• It failed inspection or has code violations

We’ve helped many Virginia families avoid months of stress by purchasing homes directly from the estate.

• Avoid family conflict
• Eliminate months of showings
