Selling Your Inherited Property in Massachusetts: What You Need to Know

Inheriting a home in Massachusetts can be a blessing—or a burden. Whether the property is located in Framingham, Waltham, Worcester, or anywhere in Middlesex or Worcester County, selling an inherited property can get complicated fast—especially if probate is involved or there are multiple heirs.

At Turning Point Home Buyers, we specialize in helping homeowners navigate these emotional and legal hurdles. We buy inherited houses as-is with no fees, no repairs, and no waiting. Here’s what you should know before selling your inherited property in the Bay State.

⚖️ Do You Have to Go Through Probate to Sell?

In Massachusetts, most inherited homes must go through probate unless the property was placed in a trust or had a transfer-on-death deed. Probate is a legal process where the court validates the will and authorizes the executor to handle assets—including real estate.

If you’re unsure about your legal standing, it’s best to speak with a probate attorney. But if you’re the rightful heir and have legal authority, you can typically sell the house once the estate is opened.

🔎 What If the House Has Issues?

It’s common for inherited properties to be in poor condition—especially if the previous owner was elderly or ill. From deferred maintenance and clutter to structural issues or outdated systems, many heirs don’t have the time or money to handle repairs.

That’s where Turning Point Home Buyers comes in. We buy inherited homes in any condition—even if they’re in probate, need major work, or are full of belongings. We’ve helped sellers in Andover, Chelmsford, and Gardner avoid the hassle and sell fast for cash.
