# Sell a House in Probate in San Antonio
Texas Probate-Fluent Cash Buyer Since 2009
A parent or relative has passed, and their San Antonio house has landed in probate. You may be the executor, a named heir, or the only family member willing to handle the property. The house may be vacant, partially cleaned out, or still full of a lifetime of belongings. Meanwhile, the mortgage keeps accruing, the lawn needs mowing, and property taxes don't pause for grief. Selling the house to a cash buyer familiar with Texas probate law is often the fastest way to settle the estate and distribute proceeds to the heirs.

## Texas Law: What You Need to Know
Texas gives you multiple probate paths depending on the estate. **Independent Administration** (Texas Estates Code §401) is the most common — the court appoints the executor, who then has authority to sell the property without repeated court approval. **Affidavit of Heirship** (Texas Estates Code §203) works when there's no will and a small number of heirs all agree — you record the affidavit with the Bexar County Clerk and skip full probate for properties under certain thresholds. **Muniment of Title** (Texas Estates Code §257) is a shortcut for estates with a valid will and no unpaid debts other than the mortgage — the court admits the will as a "muniment" and no executor is appointed. We've closed probate sales in San Antonio under all three paths since 2009.
## Common Challenges We See
- Multiple heirs scattered across states — hard to coordinate traditional sale
- House is full of personal belongings nobody has time to clean out
- Estate doesn't have cash to pay for repairs a retail buyer would demand
- Mortgage and property taxes keep accruing while probate drags out
- Siblings disagree on whether to sell or rent — cash sale provides a clean distribution
## How We Handle Probate Sales
1. 1 ### Step 1 — Confirm you have authority to sell If probate is already open, send us the Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. If it's not open yet, we can walk you through whether Affidavit of Heirship or Muniment of Title applies — or refer you to a Bexar County probate attorney if full probate is needed.
2. 2 ### Step 2 — Daniel walks the property in person Daniel drives to the house and walks it with you or another heir. No outside inspector. No "partner walkthrough." You leave anything you want left behind — we handle cleanout after closing.
3. 3 ### Step 3 — Written cash offer within 24 hours We show you the three comps we used, the repair number, and our target margin. Our offer is typically 70–85% of after-repair value. We cover closing costs.
4. 4 ### Step 4 — Close at Valero Title or Alamo Title Once probate gives you authority, we close on your chosen date — typically 7–21 days from signed contract, sometimes faster if title is clean. We wire proceeds directly to the estate's account.
## Cash Sale vs. Traditional Sale for Probate
Sell your house fast for cash in San Antonio vs. listing with an agent — here's the real difference. You may have tried listing, gone the FSBO route, or contacted cash buyers who gave you a lowball. Here's what selling to a direct buyer actually looks like, based on a $300,000 San Antonio home.
| | Sell to Us | List with Agent |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Realtor Commissions | $0 | $18,0006% of sale price |
| Repairs Before Listing | $0 | $10,000Avg repairs to list-ready |
| Closing Costs | $0 | $6,000Seller pays ~2% |
| Staging & Photography | $0 | $2,500Professional staging + photos |
| Seller Concessions | $0 | $5,000Avg buyer-requested credits |
| Total Out-of-Pocket | $0 | $41,500 |
You could save $41,500+ selling to us instead of listing.
Based on a $300,000 San Antonio home. Your actual savings depend on your home's condition, location, and situation. If your home is move-in ready and you can wait 60+ days, listing with an agent will usually net you more. Cash makes sense when time, condition, or situation rules out that path.

| Beyond the Numbers | Sell to Us | List with Agent |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How long until I close? | 7-21 days — you pick the date | 60-90 days average, depends on buyer's lender |
| Will the deal fall through? | Cash — no financing, no contingencies | Buyer's loan can be denied at any time |
| Can the price change after I sign? | The offer we make is the offer at closing | Buyer can renegotiate after inspection or low appraisal |
| Do I need to show my home? | One walkthrough by our owner — that's it | Weeks of showings, open houses, keeping it spotless |
| Can you handle my situation? | Foreclosure, probate, divorce, bankruptcy — since 2009 | Most avoid these or don't know the process |
| What if my house needs major work? | We buy as-is — foundation, fire, mold, code violations | Buyer negotiates repairs or walks away |

## Probate Cash Sale FAQ
Can I sell a house in probate before probate is finished in Texas?
Yes, in most cases. If the court has granted Independent Administration, the executor has authority to sell immediately — the buyer (us) simply needs the executor's signature. With Muniment of Title, the court admits the will and the beneficiaries can convey title directly. With Affidavit of Heirship, heirs can sell once the affidavit is recorded with the Bexar County Clerk. We've closed all three types since 2009.
What if there's no will and multiple heirs?
Affidavit of Heirship is usually the path. All heirs sign the affidavit, it's recorded with the Bexar County Clerk, and title passes to the named heirs in proportion to their intestate share under Texas Estates Code §201. Once the affidavit is recorded, all heirs sign the deed to us at closing and proceeds split according to their share. We see this often when a parent dies without a will and 3–4 adult children inherit equally.
How long does probate take in Bexar County?
Independent Administration typically takes 30–90 days from filing to Letters Testamentary. Muniment of Title can be 30–45 days. Affidavit of Heirship takes as long as it takes to get all heirs to sign and notarize — sometimes a week, sometimes months. We can begin a purchase contract before probate closes and schedule closing for the date authority is granted.
Do I have to clean out the house in probate?
No. We buy probate houses exactly as they sit. Leave furniture, family photos you don't want, clothes, or a lifetime of collected belongings behind. We handle cleanout after closing at no cost to the estate.
Will you pay fair market value for a probate house?
Our offer is typically 70–85% of after-repair value. We're not paying retail — we're taking on repair risk, holding costs, and the certainty of a cash close with no inspection contingencies or financing. For an estate that can't afford to repair a house before selling (or that has heirs who just want it done), the trade-off is usually worth it. For an estate with a move-in-ready house and heirs who have 60+ days, listing with an agent will usually net more.
What about liens or unpaid mortgage on the probate house?
We handle them at closing. Valero Title or Alamo Title pulls a title commitment, identifies every lien (mortgage, property taxes, HOA, mechanic's, medical), and we pay them from proceeds before any remaining balance goes to the estate. You don't need to pay anything out of pocket — everything comes out of the sale.
