Can I sell inherited land before probate closes in Arizona?

Yes, with court approval. We work with your estate attorney to obtain an order authorizing the sale. Proceeds go into the estate for distribution. We’ve handled this in Phoenix and Tucson without delays, even when title showed heirs from prior generations.

How fast can you close on land in probate?

Seven to thirty days is typical. Timing depends on court calendars, title clearance, and tax or lien payoffs. We submit documents early, fund earnest money day one, and line up mobile notaries. Probate sales in Glendale or Chandler often close in two to three weeks when files are organized.

Do all heirs need to sign the deed in Arizona?

Usually, the personal representative signs. If the court issued Letters of Personal Representative, that signer conveys title. Heirs don’t sign deeds, though some courts want notice to beneficiaries. We coordinate with your attorney and title in Mesa and statewide to keep it compliant.

Will you buy land in probate with liens or no road access?

Yes, we buy with issues. We pay cash, so legal access isn’t required for us. We negotiate HOA, mechanics, or judgment lien payoffs and close once title agrees. Sellers in Gilbert used us when neighbors refused easements and banks wouldn’t lend.

What happens to delinquent property taxes during probate?

We pay them at closing. Arizona adds a 16% annual penalty to unpaid taxes, and counties can hold lien auctions after three to five years. We verify balances with the treasurer and stop the accrual, so the estate doesn’t lose equity or face collections.

Sell Land in Probate Arizona

Why Land In Probate is Hard to Sell Traditionally

Traditional buyers back away from land in probate. Realtors often wait for court approval, which can take months. Title companies won’t insure a sale until the court blesses it, or prior heirs are cleared from title.

Meanwhile, the estate pays to hold the land. Property taxes keep accruing, and delinquent taxes rack up a 16% annual penalty in Arizona. Desert heat dries vegetation, so brush clearing and wildfire risk add surprise bills, especially in windy corridors off I‑10 and I‑17.

Heirs rarely agree on price or timing. One wants top dollar next year. Another needs cash now. Out‑of‑state heirs can’t manage HOA letters, water rights questions, or county notices. Every delay pushes attorney fees higher and burns estate funds.

Normal solutions don’t fit land in probate. Retail buyers need financing, but lenders won’t touch parcels with access issues or unclear water rights. Some parcels are ringed by BLM or state land, which complicates access. No legal access means no mortgage. That’s why many listings sit until the court, the title, and the access line up — which can take forever.

Pick a date: 7 days, 14–21 days, or 30 days. We pay all closing costs and wire funds to the estate account. Mobile notaries handle out‑of‑state signatures. Sellers with land in probate usually choose two to three weeks for a clean, predictable closing.

Common Land In Probate Situations We Handle

Multiple heirs disagree on price - We buy the land in probate, the personal representative distributes proceeds, and family disputes stop at closing.
Out‑of‑state heirs can’t manage Arizona tasks - We coordinate everything remotely, arrange mobile notaries, and keep weekly updates by email or text.
Back taxes with 16% penalties - We pay the county at closing, stop penalties, and prevent a tax lien sale from draining the estate.
Landlocked parcel with neighbor disputes - We buy without road access, then handle easement negotiations and any historical access claims after closing.
Old title defects from prior generations - We work with the title company to clear missing deeds, affidavits of heirship, and judgment liens tied to the decedent.
HOA and contractor liens on inherited lots - We negotiate payoffs, respect lien priority, and still close so the estate can finish probate.

Recent example: Pinal County, 4.7 acres with two heirs in different states, back taxes, and no access. We secured court approval, paid taxes and an HOA lien, closed in 19 days, and the estate distributed funds the same week.
