- Unprobated estates considered
- We work with your attorney or find one
- Nothing to fix, clean up or survey
- Written offer within 24 hours
- Close in as little as 14 to 30 days

Inherited and heir property
Why inherited land sits for years
Land passes to people who did not choose it, usually at the worst possible time and usually several at once. Nobody wants to be the one pushing a sale in the month after a funeral, so the taxes get split informally, the property gets checked on at Christmas, and five years disappear. Then one heir needs money, or one stops paying their share, or the tax office sends a letter, and suddenly a decision has to be made by a group of people who live in different states and disagree.
The legal side compounds it. If the estate was never probated, the deed still names somebody who has died, and the county does not care that everyone in the family knows who owns it. If there were several children and some of them have since died, ownership fractions multiply and the list of people who must sign gets longer every year. That is the real reason inherited land does not sell — not the land, the paperwork.
We buy in exactly that condition. We do not need the estate cleaned up before we make an offer, and we do not need every heir on board before we look at it. What we do is tell you plainly what your situation actually requires — sometimes an affidavit of heirship, sometimes a probate filing, sometimes signatures from every living heir — before you spend money finding out.
When the heirs do not agree
It happens constantly. One sibling wants to sell, one wants to keep it, one cannot be found. There is no version of that where we push anybody into anything, but there are usually more options than the family realizes: buying only the fractional interests of the heirs who do want out, dividing the tract so one branch keeps a piece, or simply putting a real written number in front of everybody so the conversation stops being hypothetical. A concrete offer settles more family disagreements than any amount of discussion.
The estate details that actually change the deal
Whose name is on the deed
The single most useful thing you can tell us. If it is a deceased relative, an old family LLC, or a name nobody recognizes, we will trace it — it is normal for the owner of record to differ from the family’s understanding.
Whether probate happened
If there is a will, an executor and a recorded order, this is usually straightforward. If nothing was ever filed, the route depends on the state, how long ago the death was, and how many heirs exist.
How many heirs there are
Two is easy. Eleven across three generations is work, but we have closed worse. The number matters far more than the acreage does.
Whether anyone is unreachable
A missing or non-responsive heir is the most common thing that stalls an heir-property sale. Tell us early; there are established ways to deal with it and they take time.
Unpaid taxes on top
Very common on inherited land, because nobody was clearly responsible for the bill. The payoff comes out of closing, not your pocket.
Life estates and life tenants
If somebody holds a life estate, or has been living on or using the land, that has to be dealt with openly. We will not make an offer that quietly ignores it.
How we handle an estate purchase
Three steps, no obligation at any point, and no cost to you at any stage.
One call or one form
Tell us the address or APN and the rough size. You do not need a survey, a plat or the tax bill in front of you — we look all of that up.
We value it properly
We research the parcel ourselves, at our cost, before we quote. We price it off recent sales of similar acreage and adjust for access, soil, flood mapping, timber and shape. No cost to you, no commitment.
Written offer, your decision
You have our number in writing within 24 hours. If you take it, a licensed title company closes it and we cover the standard closing costs — typically 14 to 30 days.
Selling to us vs. listing it
Both are legitimate. Listing can bring a higher gross price if you have time, the tract is easy to finance and you can carry the taxes while it sits. Here is the honest comparison.
| Selling to Dreamify | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Who you are dealing with | A direct cash buyer — we are the ones purchasing | An agent marketing it to someone else |
| Commission | None | Typically 6–10% on land |
| Closing costs | We cover them | Usually split or seller-paid |
| Repairs, survey, clean-up | Not your problem | Often requested by retail buyers |
| Financing risk | None — cash | Land loans fall through often |
| Timeline | As little as 14 to 30 days once title work is back | Land can sit on the market for months |

“I had a great experience working with John and Dreamify on the marketing and sale of land in Georgia. John was reasonable, fair, and thorough throughout the transaction, and was very pleasant to work with.”
“Great experience working with John. He made the selling process super easy. I didn’t have to do much — he took care of all the heavy lifting. Communication was excellent; he kept me in the loop the whole time, which eased my mind.”
Questions we get asked
Can I sell land if the deed is still in my parent’s name?
Often yes, but not by signing a deed yourself. Either the estate is opened so an executor or administrator can convey it, or the heirs convey it directly once heirship is established. Which route applies depends on your state and the facts, and we will walk you through it before you spend anything.
Do all the heirs have to agree to sell?
To sell the whole tract, yes — every person with an ownership interest has to sign. If some heirs want out and others do not, we can sometimes buy only the interests of those who want to sell.
Do we have to probate the estate first?
Sometimes, sometimes not. Some situations resolve with an affidavit of heirship or a small-estate procedure. We will tell you which category yours looks like; the title company confirms it.
Will you pay for the attorney or probate costs?
We pay the standard closing costs. Whether we can help with a probate or title-clearing cost depends on the deal, and if we can, it will be stated in writing in the offer — never a verbal promise.
The land has been in the family for generations and nobody knows the boundaries. Is that a problem?
No. Do not pay for a survey before talking to us. Unclear boundaries are normal on old family land, and if a survey is genuinely needed to close, that is a buyer’s job, not yours.
How long does an inherited land sale take?
If title is clean, in as little as 14 to 30 days. If probate or heirship work is needed, the legal process sets the clock, not us — that can be a few weeks or a few months, and we will give you a realistic range rather than an optimistic one.
