Sell Your Inherited House in Mississippi – Fast, Fair, and Stress-Free

Inheriting a house in Mississippi doesn’t have to be complicated or costly.
If you’ve recently inherited a home, whether in Gulfport, Biloxi, Hattiesburg, or anywhere in the state, you might be wondering:

• Do I need to go through probate before I can sell?

• What if I live out of state or the house is in rough shape?

• Can I sell the property fast, for cash, and avoid all the hassle?

At Home Buyer Louisiana, we’ve helped many people just like you and yes, despite our name, we also buy inherited houses in Mississippi. Our goal is to take the stress off your shoulders by offering a quick, simple sale process, even if probate hasn’t been completed yet.

Why People Choose to Sell Inherited Property in Mississippi

Inheriting a home can feel overwhelming. Maybe the house needs repairs, is filled with belongings, or comes with legal paperwork and bills you didn’t expect. Often, heirs live out of state and don’t want the responsibility of managing or renovating the property.

That’s where we come in.

✅ We buy inherited houses as-is – no cleaning or repairs
✅ We cover all closing costs and fees – you don’t pay anything
✅ We work with Mississippi probate attorneys to streamline the legal process
✅ We buy with cash, so we can close quickly – in as little as 7–14 days

If you’re ready to move on from the inherited home, we’ll make sure you do it the easy way – with dignity, speed, and clarity.

Do I Have to Go Through Probate to Sell?

Yes, but don’t worry, we can help.

In Mississippi, the legal process of transferring property after someone passes is called probate. This process ensures the title is properly passed on to the rightful heirs. However, you don’t need to finish probate before starting the sale.

Here’s how it works:

• We’ll sign a purchase agreement with you while probate is pending

• We’ll coordinate with a local Mississippi probate attorney

• The attorney will finalize probate as part of the closing process

• You don’t pay anything upfront – legal fees are handled from the sale proceeds

This means you don’t have to wait months or worry about court paperwork. We take care of the details so you can focus on moving forward.

Can I Sell an Inherited House That Needs Repairs?

Yes. We buy homes in any condition.

Inherited properties are often outdated or neglected. Maybe the roof is leaking, the HVAC system is broken, or the home still has all of your loved one’s belongings. That’s totally fine.

You don’t need to clean
You don’t need to fix anything
You don’t need to pay for anything

Just take the personal items you want, and we’ll handle the rest, from hauling out furniture to handling code violations. We’ve purchased inherited houses with mold, fire damage, and years of deferred maintenance. Nothing scares us off.

What About Capital Gains or Inheritance Taxes?

Mississippi does not charge inheritance tax or estate tax. And in most cases, you won’t owe capital gains tax when you sell an inherited property.

Here’s why:

• You get a stepped-up basis, meaning the home’s value at the time of inheritance becomes your starting point for tax purposes

• If you sell the house for close to that value, you may owe little or no capital gains

We always recommend consulting a CPA for your specific case, but the takeaway is: you likely won’t owe much in taxes when selling an inherited home in Mississippi.

Selling with Siblings or Other Heirs?

No problem. We regularly work with multiple heirs, even when they live in different states or don’t agree on everything.

Here’s what we can help with:

• Getting everyone on the same page about the offer

• Handling signatures remotely (online notaries, FedEx, etc.)

• Coordinating with your attorney to ensure legal compliance

• Helping you understand options like buyouts or a partition sale (if one heir won’t cooperate)

Our team has experience navigating family dynamics with empathy and clarity. We don’t just buy houses, we help families move forward with peace of mind.

Real Story: Inheriting a Home in Gulfport

We recently helped a seller who inherited a house from her aunt in Gulfport. The home had been vacant for years, had mold damage, and was filled with old belongings. She lived out of state and didn’t know where to start. We:

• Connected her with a probate attorney

• Made a cash offer without requiring repairs

• Allowed her to leave everything in the home

• Closed in 10 days, and she used part of the proceeds to cover the probate costs

This is what we do, we help people solve problems, not just sell homes.
