We Specialize in
What Others Won't Touch

Complex heir situations, tax-delinquent estates, multi-owner disputes — this is our expertise.

01
Heir Property · Probate · Intestate

Sell Your Inherited Share

You own a percentage of a property with other heirs — you don't need their permission to sell your share. We purchase individual undivided interests, quietly and efficiently.

This is for you if…
  • The estate hasn't gone through probate and taxes are piling up
  • Co-heirs disagree or are completely unreachable
  • You're out of state and can't manage the property
  • A tax foreclosure deadline is approaching
  • The deceased left no will and the family is divided
  • You need cash now, not months from now
  • You don't want other family members knowing what you received — we include confidentiality agreements and handle all heir conversations on your behalf
02
Land · Homes · Commercial · All Property Types

Sell Any Property — Any Condition

Vacant land, single-family homes, manufactured homes, apartments, commercial buildings — we buy all types of real estate, as-is. We specialize in messy titles, clouded deeds, and the deals other buyers walk away from.

This is for you if…
  • You've owned land or property for years and are ready to be done with it
  • Development or renovation plans changed and you just want out
  • You inherited a property and don't want the ongoing burden
  • Taxes are delinquent and a foreclosure notice has arrived
  • The title is clouded, the deed is complicated, or there are liens — we handle all of it
  • You want a fast, clean close with zero realtor fees and no repairs required
Tax Delinquent Properties
A Foreclosure Notice
Isn't the End.

Most of the properties we buy have delinquent taxes. It's not a dealbreaker — it's exactly what we handle.

The clock is ticking. Once a tax foreclosure sale is scheduled, your window to act narrows fast. Selling before that date is almost always the better outcome — for you and your family.

  • We pay off delinquent taxes at closing — you receive the net proceeds
  • We cover and remove liens and step in to resolve any lawsuits or legal issues through an indemnification agreement — so you never hear about the problem again
  • No repairs, no cleanup, no listing — we close on your timeline
  • We work directly with county tax offices and licensed title companies
  • Deceased owner + multiple heirs? This is our specialty
  • Funds delivered within 1–4 days by bank wire, cashier's check, or Zelle — your choice

Know Your Options

Facing a Tax Foreclosure on an Inherited Property? Here Are All Your Choices.

We believe every heir deserves to make an informed decision — not a desperate one. This page lays out every realistic option available to you, including the pros and cons of each.

⚖️ Our commitment: We will never pressure you into a decision. If another option is genuinely better for your situation, we will tell you. Honor and integrity are not marketing words for us — they are how we operate every deal, every time.

The Situation
What You're Typically Dealing With

A property owner passes away — often without a will. Taxes go unpaid. Multiple heirs inherit but can't agree, can't afford the taxes, or don't know their options. A foreclosure notice arrives. The clock starts.

Below are every realistic path forward. Read them all before making any decision.

1

Go Through Probate, Pay the Taxes, Then Sell

The official legal process to settle an estate and get a clean sale

Probate is the court process that officially settles a deceased person's estate. It identifies all the legal heirs, pays off any debts, and transfers ownership. Once finished and taxes are paid, the property can be sold on the open market. All heirs split what's left after costs.

Pros
  • Gives the property a clean, clear ownership record
  • You can list on the open market at full value
  • Every heir gets their legal share
  • Permanently settles the estate
Cons
  • Takes 8 months to several years — sometimes much longer
  • Attorney fees often run $5,000–$15,000+
  • Every heir must agree — one holdout can stop everything
  • A foreclosure deadline will almost certainly arrive before probate finishes
  • Taxes and penalties keep piling up throughout
⚠️ If a foreclosure deadline is close, probate alone will almost never move fast enough. You will need an attorney — there is no way around that cost.
2

Pay the Taxes & Sue to Force a Sale (Partition Lawsuit)

A legal way to force the other heirs' hand when they won't cooperate

If other heirs refuse to sell, you can take them to court. A judge can order the property sold and proceeds split. The estate must also be probated simultaneously — meaning two legal processes at once.

Pros
  • You can force a resolution without unanimous agreement
  • Court process is supervised and fair
  • You may be reimbursed for taxes paid out of pocket
Cons
  • Estate must also be probated — two legal processes at once
  • Combined attorney fees can reach $15,000–$30,000+
  • Takes 1–3 years from start to finish
  • You must pay taxes out of pocket upfront
  • Court-ordered sales often bring less than market value
  • Family relationships rarely survive this process
📌 A real legal right — but expensive and slow. Very hard to pull off before a foreclosure deadline.
3

Get a Loan to Cover the Taxes

Borrow against the property to stop foreclosure and buy yourself time

Some lenders specialize in loans for inherited properties — they pay the county what's owed, stopping foreclosure, and you pay them back from a future sale. In Texas, property tax lenders deal specifically with delinquent tax situations.

Pros
  • Stops foreclosure right away
  • No cash needed upfront
  • Buys time to work out a longer-term plan
  • May allow a market-rate sale later
Cons
  • Interest rates often run 8–18%+ per year
  • Approval is not guaranteed
  • Adds a lien that must be repaid at closing
  • All heirs may need to agree
  • Does not solve the underlying ownership problem
🏦 Search "property tax lender [your county] Texas." Always read the full loan terms. This is a short-term fix, not a solution.
4

Apply to Freeze or Delay Your Taxes (Deferral Programs)

Some states let qualifying owners pause tax collection — but the debt keeps growing

Texas and other states offer tax deferral for homeowners 65+, disabled, or surviving spouses. The county stops collection while you live in the home — but taxes keep growing with interest until the property is sold.

Pros
  • Stops foreclosure for those who qualify
  • No money needed to apply
  • Usually no attorney required
  • Buys time to figure out next steps
Cons
  • Only for age 65+, disabled, or surviving spouse — you must qualify
  • You must be living in the home
  • Tax debt grows 5–8% annually — eroding equity every year
  • Over 5–10 years can wipe out most of the property's value
  • Does not fix title or ownership problems
⚠️ Think of deferral like a slow leak — the water is still running. Every year you wait, the balance grows and shrinks what you'd walk away with. Ask your county appraisal district about Form 50-126 in Texas.
5

Sell Your Share to Another Family Member

One heir buys out the others — keeps it in the family

If another heir wants to keep the property and has funds, you can sell your share directly to them. They pay you in cash and you walk away.

Pros
  • Property stays in the family
  • No outside parties involved
  • Can be done without a realtor
  • Often the smoothest path when everyone agrees
Cons
  • Requires a willing and financially capable family member
  • Disagreements on value are common
  • Without a recorded deed, title problems arise later
  • An attorney is still recommended
  • Doesn't solve the tax problem unless the buying heir can also pay taxes
📄 Always document with a proper deed filed with the county. A handshake deal is not legally recognized.
6

Do Nothing — Let the Property Go to Tax Auction

In our experience, the worst possible outcome for heirs

If nothing is done before the county's deadline, the property is sold at public auction. The county keeps what's owed. Heirs may claim "excess proceeds" if the property sells for more — but in practice this almost never works out.

Possible Pros
  • Requires no action or upfront cost
  • The tax debt gets wiped out
  • Excess proceeds may be claimable
Why This Almost Always Goes Badly
  • Auction investors bid low — buying sight unseen
  • Properties almost always sell for just enough to cover taxes
  • Claiming excess proceeds requires an attorney and court appearance
  • Estate must still be probated before proceeds can be distributed
  • You permanently lose all equity above the tax debt
Plain truth: Most people here didn't choose this — they ran out of time. Every other option will almost certainly put more money in your pocket. Please call us before the auction date.
