In many cases, yes. Florida often requires probate to transfer title from the deceased to the heirs, unless the property is held in a trust or by an enhanced life estate deed. Small estates may qualify for summary administration, which is usually faster. If you are unsure, talk to a probate attorney, then contact Largo Home Buyers to review your options and timeline.

If the title is ready to transfer, you can sell as-is quickly. Largo Home Buyers can close in about 10 days, with no fees or commissions, and you do not need repairs or showings.

You will typically need a death certificate, a will or court-issued letters of administration, photo ID for all heirs, the latest mortgage and tax statements, HOA contacts or statements if applicable, and any lien or code notices. Having these ready speeds the offer and closing. Largo Home Buyers can help you confirm the list and next steps.

Heirs usually receive a step-up in basis to the fair market value as of the date of death. This can reduce capital gains when you sell. Florida has no state income tax, so you generally only consider federal capital gains. Keep records of value and closing costs, and consult a tax professional.

You can still sell. Disclose what you know. Largo Home Buyers purchases houses as-is, including liens, violations, or difficult tenants. This is why you need to contact Largo Home Buyers if you want a quick, low-stress sale without out-of-pocket repairs: https://largohomebuyers.com/.
