Probate slows everything down — but it does not have to stop the sale. ZI Properties buys probate properties at any stage of the process. Once you have the authority to sell (Letters Testamentary or court order), we can close in 7 days.
No obligation. Real people answer.
Texas has a relatively streamlined probate process compared to most states — but it still takes time, and the rules around selling real property depend heavily on what type of authority the executor has been granted.
Most Texas wills grant independent administration. The executor receives Letters Testamentary from the probate court and can sell real property without court approval. If the will names you as independent executor, you can sell once letters are issued.
If the will requires dependent administration, or there is no will and the court appoints a dependent administrator, every sale requires a court order under Texas Estates Code § 356.
If there is no outstanding debt other than liens on real property, Texas allows probate of the will as a muniment of title only — faster and less expensive than full administration.
Texas Estates Code § 256.003: a will must be filed for probate within four years of the decedent's death, or it may be barred. Missing this window forces heirs to use more complex alternatives.
The most common scenario: an executor has been managing a probate for months, paying property taxes and insurance on a house they do not live in, and simply wants the process to end. The house needs work. A realtor says it needs to be repaired before listing. The estate does not have the funds.
ZI Properties eliminates all of that. We buy in current condition — no repairs, no staging, no cleanout. If you have Letters Testamentary, we can close in 7 days. If you are still in the middle of the probate process, we can execute a purchase agreement now and schedule closing for when the authority is granted.
All five I-35 Corridor counties use different probate courts. Bexar County probate matters are handled by the Bexar County Probate Courts. Travis County probate goes through Travis County District Courts. We are familiar with the process in all five counties and have closed probate properties across the entire corridor.
Even if probate is not yet complete, we can start the conversation and have an offer ready the moment you are authorized to sell.
