Understand the Probate Process in Virginia
Selling a home during probate can feel overwhelming, especially during an already difficult time. The information here breaks down the process and your options in a simple way to help you make informed decisions.
The 5 Stages of Probate in Virginia
Understand where you are in the process and see what options may be available to sell the property faster.
STEP 1
Probate Initiation
The probate process in Virginia starts with filing the deceased person’s will with the county court. If there is no will, state law dictates how assets are distributed.
STEP 2
Qualification of a Personal Representative
A personal representative is appointed by the court to locate all estate assets, pay all debts, and distribute assets to beneficiaries.
STEP 3
Inventory of Estate Assets
Your appointed personal representative must identify all assets owned by the estate to assess its overall value and ensure all debts are paid.
STEP 4
Payment of Debts
Before assets can be distributed to you or other beneficiaries, any and all outstanding debts must be paid, including income and estate taxes.
STEP 5
Distribution of Assets
Once all debts are paid, your property and any other remaining assets are distributed according to terms stated in the will. If there is no will, assets must be distributed according to Virginia state law.

Common Questions About Selling a Probate Property
Probate can feel overwhelming, especially when a home is involved. These FAQs address the most common questions we hear from executors and heirs considering a cash sale.
Can I sell before probate is granted?
Generally, a home cannot be sold until the probate process has begun and the court has authorized the sale. However, in Virginia, there are a few exceptions that can help you sell the property faster. The executor of the will must get approval from the Commissioner of Accounts to start the selling process. Or, the will must state a “Power of Sale.” If that isn’t specifically granted in the will, then the process must go through the courts.
Do I need to make any repairs or clean the house?
No. We buy homes as-is, in any condition. You don’t need to make repairs, renovate, or clean before selling. We handle the work after closing so you don’t have to.
What if the house has a mortgage?
If the property still has a mortgage, it can typically be paid off at closing from the sale proceeds once court approval and authority are in place. Selling the home for cash can help reduce delays and prevent continued mortgage payments during probate.
