For heirs, families, and personal representatives
Then take your time. The estate can be settled without repairs, cleanouts, or pressure.
Losing someone is hard enough without becoming a long-distance landlord, a renovation manager, and a probate expert overnight. We buy inherited and probate properties across Florida as-is — belongings included — and coordinate with your attorney so the estate closes cleanly.
No pressure and no obligation. We will explain the next step before you decide anything.
Private conversation · No obligation to accept · Written terms before you decide

Keep it, rent it, or sell it. Each one is right for some families — here is the trade each path really asks of you.
Move in, or hold it for the family. Makes sense when the home is paid off, someone wants to live there, and everyone agrees. Budget for insurance, taxes, and upkeep — vacant-home insurance in Florida is not cheap.
Good when: one heir wants the home and can buy out or compensate the others.
Turn the estate home into income. Works when the property is in rentable condition and someone is willing to be the landlord — screening tenants, fielding 2 a.m. calls, and coordinating repairs, often from another state.
Good when: the house is in solid shape and an heir wants to manage it long-term.
One closing, proceeds divided, estate settled. No repairs, no clearing out belongings, no showings. We make a written offer, coordinate with your probate attorney and the title company, and you choose the timeline.
Good when: heirs are spread out, the house needs work, or everyone wants closure.

Probate has a rhythm. Once you know it, the house stops feeling like a mystery and starts feeling like a step in the process.
A probate case opens in the circuit court of the county where your loved one lived. An attorney files the petition and the will, if there is one.
The court issues Letters of Administration naming the personal representative — the person with legal authority to act for the estate.
Creditors get a window (usually 90 days) to make claims. Bills, liens, and mortgages on the house surface here.
With Letters in hand — and court approval when required — the personal representative can sign a contract. This is where we come in, alongside your attorney.
This is where 123SellCash comes inSale proceeds pay valid claims and costs; what remains is distributed to heirs and the estate closes.
Every estate is different — homestead status, the type of administration, and the will itself change the details. And not every house takes this road at all: homes in a living trust, owned jointly with survivorship, or left by a Lady Bird deed can often be sold with no probate case. Your probate attorney confirms what applies to yours; our Florida probate guide explains the vocabulary.
The timeline above is real — but it is not everyone's. Whether your house needs probate at all is written on the deed, and it takes minutes to check.
The successor trustee can usually sell on the trust’s own authority — no probate case at all. Often the fastest estate sale there is.
The successor trustee’s guide →Most married couples’ homes, and any deed with right of survivorship: the surviving owner already owns the whole house and can sell with a recorded death certificate.
What skips probate and what doesn’t →Florida’s enhanced life estate deed passes the house to its named beneficiaries automatically at death. They own it — and can sell it — with no probate.
Selling before and during probate →Call us with the property address and we will pull the deed with you on the phone — free, in one call, before anyone spends money on anything. If the house skips probate, you'll know today. If it doesn't, you can still sign a contract now that closes when the court grants authority — and your attorney confirms everything either way.
No decision is required to start the conversation — and nothing moves faster than the estate allows.
The property address, where probate stands, and who is involved. Rough answers are fine — this is a conversation, not a form audit.
Every heir and the estate's attorney can see the same number, the same terms, and the assumptions behind both.
We work with your attorney and the title company, and the family keeps the keepsakes — we handle everything left behind.
Siblings in three states, a home full of fifty years of belongings, a probate case that seems to move an inch a month while the bills arrive on time. We have spent decades helping Florida families through exactly this — patiently, and with a written offer they can weigh against every other option.
Settling a Florida estate from another state means securing a vacant house, insurance questions, and decisions made by phone. We can be your local eyes, photograph everything, and handle a closing you never have to fly in for.
When multiple heirs share one property, every decision needs agreement. A single written cash offer gives everyone the same number to consider — and one clean division of proceeds instead of years of shared upkeep.
A parent’s home with a lifetime of possessions can feel impossible to face. Take the keepsakes that matter; we buy the property with everything else still inside and handle the cleanout after closing.
Taxes, insurance, utilities, and mortgage payments do not pause for probate. A sale during administration — with your attorney guiding the process — can stop the bleeding and fund the estate’s obligations.
Leases survive the owner’s death. If you inherited an occupied rental — paying or not — we can make an offer with tenants in place, so the estate is not stuck playing landlord.
After the borrower passes, a reverse mortgage typically becomes due within months. Heirs can sell before the lender forecloses and keep the remaining equity. The clock matters; the situation is fixable.
Chris Russo has worked in Florida real estate since 1995, and 123SellCash is the part of the family's business dedicated to inherited and probate properties — the sales that need more patience, more paperwork, and more care than a typical deal.
We are the same family behind 123SoldCash, with the same phone number and the same A+ BBB accreditation. This site exists because estate sales deserve a buyer who treats probate as the day job, not the exception.

Hi there, Juarez here. So I saw Chris Russo's commercial and I felt like he was honest. My house was in probate, in foreclosure, filled with stuff. I hadn't paid my taxes for two years, which, you know. And yeah, Chris helped me sell quickly and easily and I'm grateful for his efforts and I highly recommend him. If you're facing probate, foreclosure, or unpaid taxes in West Park, Miami-Dade County, or anywhere in South Florida, call 123SoldCash.
I had zero real estate experience when I inherited my grandmother's house in Davie with code violations and probate issues. The property was lost in court and our family had no idea what to do. I found Chris Russo through 5-star Google reviews and he handled everything—the probate paperwork, legal complications, and code violations. Without his expertise, we would have lost the house completely. If you're dealing with inherited property problems in Davie or anywhere in South Florida, call 123SoldCash.Watch Stephanie's video testimonial
For over a year I struggled to sell the duplex in Oakland Park that belonged to my parents after my dad passed away. One tenant stopped paying, my brother gave up, and my sister was too busy with her kids. I was left to deal with the mess alone. I found 123SoldCash through good Google reviews and working with Chris Russo was a game changer. The entire process was smooth, quick, and straightforward. He took care of everything and kept me informed every step of the way. If you're dealing with a probate duplex or inherited property in Oakland Park or Broward County, call 123SoldCash.Watch Mr Willians's video testimonial
My mom passed away and I inherited her house in Fort Lauderdale. She was a serious accumulator and the whole place was packed with belongings plus needed major repairs. After two years of feeling overwhelmed, I saw the 123SoldCash TV commercial and called. Chris Russo came to the property, looked at everything—all the problems, all the stuff still there—and made an as-is cash offer on the spot. No repairs, no cleaning out, nothing. They handled everything and closed fast. These people are the real deal. If you inherited a hoarding house in Fort Lauderdale or Broward County, call 123SoldCash.Watch Jordan's video testimonial

Inherited property raises questions most people face only once or twice in a lifetime. Here are honest answers to the ones we hear most.
Not always — and it takes minutes to find out. A house held in a living trust, owned jointly with right of survivorship, or left by a Lady Bird deed can usually be sold without any probate case. The answer is written on the deed, and we will read it with you on the first call, free, before anyone spends money on anything. If probate is needed, you can still sign a contract now that closes once the court grants authority.
Often, yes. Once the court issues Letters of Administration, the personal representative can usually sign a contract, and many Florida estate sales close while probate is still open. Whether court approval is needed depends on the will and the type of administration — your probate attorney will confirm. We routinely write offers contingent on that authority being in place.
If the estate is in probate, the personal representative signs for the estate. If the property has already been distributed by deed to the heirs, every owner on the deed signs. We prepare one written offer that all decision-makers can review together, and the title company confirms exactly whose signatures are required.
Florida has no state inheritance or estate tax, and federal law gives inherited property a stepped-up basis — your cost basis is generally the market value at the date of death, not what your loved one paid. Sell near that value and there is often little or no capital gain. Confirm your specific numbers with a tax professional.
Usually not. A reverse mortgage becomes due after the borrower passes, and heirs typically have several months — with possible extensions — before foreclosure. If the home is worth more than the loan balance, selling lets the family keep the difference. Timing matters, so start the conversation early.
No. Take the photographs, documents, and keepsakes that matter to your family. We buy estate properties with everything else still inside — furniture, clothing, decades of accumulation — and handle the cleanout after closing.
In most Florida probate administrations an attorney is required, and we think that is a good thing. We are buyers, not lawyers — we coordinate with your probate attorney and the title company rather than replacing them. If you do not have an attorney yet, we can explain what to look for.
The same way we would explain it to your attorney: location, condition, the repairs and cleanout the property realistically needs, comparable sales, and carrying costs. We walk you through the assumptions behind the number so you can compare it honestly with listing the home or keeping it.
Nothing is signed until the people with legal authority agree, and we never pressure a divided family. Sometimes a written offer helps the conversation by replacing guesses with a real number. If heirs stay deadlocked, Florida law offers formal options like partition — a last resort your attorney can explain.
There is no deadline on this conversation. Tell us about the property and where the estate stands, and we will explain what an as-is sale could look like — then give you room to decide.
