Inherited a House in New York? We Buy During Active Probate

New York's Surrogate's Court system can be slow — particularly in NYC counties — and properties often appreciate substantially during probate. We can begin your sale during active probate and coordinate with the relevant Surrogate's Court.

From NYC apartments and brownstones to upstate single-family homes, we purchase NY inherited properties statewide. Cash offer within 24 hours, no repairs required, close in as little as 10 days.

The tax picture for New York heirs.

New York has a state estate tax with a notorious 'cliff' — estates more than 5% above the exemption pay tax on the entire amount. For most heirs, this isn't a concern, and the federal step-up in basis applies in full.
