Inheriting a home in Milwaukee can be a mixed experience. On one hand, you’ve gained property that could be valuable. On the other hand, you might face a complex legal process known as probate — and that can delay your plans, especially if you want to sell the house quickly.
At Sell Your House Fast Milwaukee, we’ve helped countless homeowners and heirs deal with inherited properties. Whether the house needs repairs, is tied up in probate, or just feels overwhelming, we’re here to help you sell it fast — for cash, and with no stress.
Let’s break it down.
Probate is the legal process that occurs when someone passes away, and their assets — including real estate — are distributed to heirs. If the deceased had a will, the probate court ensures it’s carried out properly. If there was no will, the state decides how assets are distributed.
In Wisconsin, the probate process can take anywhere from a few months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the estate and whether anyone contests the will.
Yes — but with conditions.
You can sell a house in probate, but it usually requires court approval unless you’re named the executor and given full authority to manage the estate. Here’s what typically needs to happen:

Q: Can I sell a house before probate is complete?
A: Usually, the estate must go through some part of the probate process before a sale can happen. However, in many cases, you can get approval to sell early with court permission or if the estate qualifies for simplified probate.
Q: What if there are multiple heirs?
A: All heirs must agree to the sale, or the court must approve the transaction. We can assist in coordinating the paperwork and legal steps.
Q: Do I need to clean out the home before selling?
A: No. We buy houses in Milwaukee as-is, which means you can leave behind furniture, clutter, or items you don’t want to sort through.
Q: What if the home has back taxes or mortgage payments due?
A: We’ll review the title and handle any outstanding liens, taxes, or mortgage balances as part of the sale.
Q: How quickly can we close the sale?
A: Once probate is cleared or approved for sale, we can close in as little as 7 days — sometimes sooner.
