Inherited a House in Delaware? We Buy During Active Probate
Delaware is small but complex when it comes to inherited property — and our experience with Wilmington's probate courts and Delaware's unique legal landscape means we can close your transaction efficiently regardless of the estate's complexity.
Delaware's Orphans' Court system (rather than a standard probate court) handles estate administration — with courts in New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties. We work within this system regularly and coordinate directly with estate attorneys familiar with Delaware's specific requirements.
Whether the inherited property is a Wilmington rowhouse, a Sussex County beach property, or a Dover-area family home, we purchase Delaware properties in any condition with cash offers within 24 hours.
Key facts at a glance.
The tax picture for Delaware heirs.
Delaware repealed its estate tax in 2018, making it one of the more favorable states for estate administration. Combined with no state inheritance tax and the federal step-up in basis benefit, Delaware heirs typically face a very manageable tax picture when selling an inherited property.
