Sell Your Inherited House in Louisiana — Fast, Fair, and Stress-Free

Inheriting a house in Louisiana can be both a gift and a heavy responsibility.

Whether you’re overwhelmed, out of state, or just don’t want to deal with the hassle, Home Buyer Louisiana can help you sell your inherited property fast and with less stress.

We specialize in helping Louisiana families sell inherited houses as-is, for cash, and without the emotional strain or legal confusion. No repairs. No commissions. No waiting. Just a smooth, supportive process designed around your needs.

Why Sell Your Inherited House to a Cash Buyer?

When you inherit a home, you’re suddenly responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. If you’re not planning to live in the property or rent it out, selling might be the best option — but going the traditional route with a real estate agent can be a headache.

Here’s how we make it easier:

  • We buy houses in any condition — no cleaning or repairs required
  • We pay cash — so there’s no waiting for bank approvals
  • We work with your timeline — close in 14 days or when you’re ready
  • We help with succession — including covering attorney costs at closing
  • We handle everything — even properties with multiple heirs, title issues, or succession complications

Real-Life Stories: Helping Louisiana Families Through Inheritance Challenges

We’ve worked with families across Louisiana who were overwhelmed by the responsibility of inheriting a home. These are real stories of people just like you — and how we were able to help:

In the 7th Ward of New Orleans, a family inherited a house with unresolved succession and multiple out-of-state heirs. They felt stuck and unsure how to move forward. We worked with their attorney, helped finalize the legal process, and bought the house quickly so they could each receive their share.

In Kenner, a seller was left with a fully furnished home after a loved one passed. They didn’t want to deal with clearing it out or making updates. We told them not to worry — we made a fair offer, bought the property as-is, and they didn’t have to lift a finger.

A family in Marrero was concerned about the cost of repairs and time it would take to get the house market-ready. We purchased the home in its current condition, saving them thousands in potential rehab costs.

In Covington, the inherited property had been sitting vacant for a while, and the family didn’t want to continue paying taxes and maintenance. We stepped in and provided a smooth cash sale, giving them closure and financial relief.

A seller in Baton Rouge inherited a property while living out of state. We were able to complete the entire transaction remotely, including working with their attorney and managing the title paperwork. It was one less thing they had to worry about while grieving.

These stories show that no matter your situation — succession issues, out-of-state heirs, full houses, or vacant properties — we’re here to help with solutions that work.

Can You Sell an Inherited House Without Finishing Succession in Louisiana?

Yes — and we do it all the time. While Louisiana law requires succession to transfer title, we can start the sales process now and work with attorneys to wrap up the legal work before closing. That way, you don’t lose months waiting.

At Home Buyer Louisiana, we often:

  • Start the sales process before succession is finalized
  • Coordinate with experienced succession attorneys
  • Use sale proceeds to cover legal fees at closing

This means you don’t have to pay upfront for legal help, and we can keep the process moving even if paperwork isn’t finished yet.

Can You Sell an Inherited House Full of Stuff?

Yes! In fact, most inherited homes we buy are still full of furniture, appliances, and personal items. You don’t need to spend weeks sorting through everything — just take the items that matter to you, and leave the rest. We’ll donate what we can and responsibly dispose of the rest.

We understand this is an emotional time. We want to make it easier.

What Taxes Apply When Selling an Inherited Property in Louisiana?

Here’s the good news:

  • Louisiana repealed inheritance tax in 2012 — so you don’t owe the state anything just for inheriting a home
  • You get a stepped-up basis when you inherit — which reduces (or eliminates) capital gains tax if you sell shortly after inheriting
  • Property taxes are prorated at closing — so you only pay for the time you own it

We’ll work with a title company or attorney to handle all of this behind the scenes. No surprises.

What If There Are Multiple Heirs?

Selling with siblings or other family members? We handle that too.

We’ve worked with families who:

  • Had heirs living in different states
  • Didn’t initially agree on whether to sell
  • Needed time to coordinate paperwork or get legal authority

We’ll speak with everyone involved and help get everyone on the same page. Our goal is to be a neutral, professional third party that helps the family move forward.

Can I Sell My Share of an Inherited Property?

Yes, it’s possible to sell your share of an inherited house — even if the other heirs don’t want to sell. In Louisiana, you have the right to sell your fractional ownership interest. However, there are important things to consider:

  • The pool of buyers is much smaller when only a share is being sold.
  • You’ll likely get more if all heirs sell the house together, either to an investor like us or on the open market.
  • Your siblings may want to buy you out — which can be a win-win.
  • If there’s conflict, you can pursue a partition action through the court system. This legal route forces the sale of the entire property and splits the proceeds among heirs. There are legal fees involved, but it gives you an option if you’re stuck.

We’ve helped families navigate situations where only one heir wanted to sell, and we’re happy to talk through your options — even if they’re complicated.
