Probate is the process. The house is the asset.
Personal representatives and estate attorneys work with us regularly. We understand what the Maryland Register of Wills needs to see. We know what a court-approved sale looks like. We understand the difference between administrative probate and judicial probate. We move at the pace the estate requires.

Four things to know about how a Schiff purchase works in this situation.
Who we work with
Personal representatives, estate attorneys, out-of-state heirs, and executors managing complicated estates. First-time PRs and experienced ones. Simple estates and estates with multiple properties, contested wills, or unusual asset structures.
What we buy
Houses that are part of an estate in any condition. Occupied or vacant. During probate or after final distribution. Sometimes we can wait for probate to clear before closing. Sometimes we can close before it does with the right court approvals.
How we help the PR
We handle the property side so the PR can focus on the estate side. Cleanouts, remaining belongings, deferred maintenance, and code issues are all our problem after closing, not yours. We coordinate with your attorney directly.
Timeline
Depends entirely on the probate stage. Some estates close within two weeks of first contact. Others take months because the probate itself takes months. We follow the estate's pace, not ours.

What does 'as-is' actually mean for a probate sale?
As-is means you leave the house exactly as it is. No repairs. No cleaning beyond what you want to do. No fixing violations. The offer we make is based on the property as it sits, and that is the number that arrives at settlement.
Do I pay anything to get an offer?
No. Getting an offer is free. There are no fees to talk to us, review the offer, or walk away. If you accept, we cover the closing costs. If you decline, there is no cost.
What if I have more than one property in this situation?
We buy multiple properties from the same seller regularly. Send us the addresses and we handle them individually or as a portfolio, whichever makes more sense for you.
How is your offer different from a wholesaler's?
A wholesaler goes under contract with you, then tries to find another buyer to assign the contract to for a fee. If they can't find a buyer, the deal falls through. We are the end buyer. We use our own funds. Contract to close is on us, not on a third party we still need to find.
