If you own land in Florida with siblings, cousins, or extended family, and selling it feels impossible, you may be dealing with heirs property.
Heirs property often happens after a family member passes away and land is inherited by multiple people, usually without a clear plan, completed probate, or updated deeds. Over time, ownership becomes fragmented, paperwork gets lost, and one small disagreement can stall everything.
All Acres Land Company helps Florida landowners resolve heirs property issues and buy the land at the same time. We handle the legal and title challenges so you don’t have to spend money, chase down relatives, or navigate the process alone.
No upfront legal costs. No pressure. Just a clear solution.

What Is Heirs Property?
Heirs property is land that’s inherited by more than one person – often across generations – without a formal probate process or clear title resolution.
In many cases:
- The original owner passed away years ago
- Probate was never completed
- Ownership was never legally updated
- Multiple heirs now have partial interests
Each heir may legally own a share, even if they’ve never lived on the land or paid taxes on it.
This is extremely common with vacant land and family property throughout Florida.
Why Heirs Property Is So Hard to Sell
Selling heirs property isn’t difficult because the land has no value. It’s difficult because decision-making and ownership are fragmented.
Common challenges include:
- Multiple heirs must agree to sell
- Some heirs may be missing or unreachable
- One heir may refuse to cooperate
- No single person has authority to sell
- Probate was never completed
- The title is clouded or unclear
Most traditional buyers and real estate agents simply won’t touch heirs property like this because of these risks.
Can Heirs Property Be Sold in Florida?
Yes, but not like a normal sale.
In Florida, heirs property can often be sold, but the path forward depends on:
- How ownership is structured
- Whether probate has been completed
- How many heirs are involved
- Whether everyone agrees
Some situations require probate.
Some require quiet title actions.
Some require negotiating buyouts or structured solutions.
The key issue isn’t whether it’s possible – it’s who handles the complexity.
Common Heirs Property Situations We See
We regularly work with landowners facing situations like:
- Inherited land with siblings
- Land inherited without a will
- Family land passed down informally
- One heir living out of state
- One heir refusing to sell
- Missing or unknown heirs
- Vacant land no one wants to manage
If your family land has become a source of stress or disagreement, you’re not alone.
Why Traditional Sales Usually Don’t Work
Trying to sell heirs property the traditional way often leads to:
- Buyers backing out once title issues appear
- Agents declining to list the property
- Legal bills piling up before a sale is guaranteed
- Family conflict escalating
Even if you want to sell, the structure of heirs property often makes it impossible without help.
The Traditional Route vs. The All Acres Solution
Option 1: Handle It Yourself
- Hire an attorney
- Pay probate or quiet title costs upfront

- Wait months or longer
- Hope everyone stays cooperative
This can work – but it’s expensive, slow, and emotionally draining.
Option 2: Work With All Acres Land Company
- We review the ownership situation at no cost
- We explain what’s required and what’s optional
- We coordinate probate and title resolution when needed
- We cover legal and title costs as part of the purchase
- We buy the land once everything is resolved
Our role is to simplify—not pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heirs Property

There may still be options depending on the situation. Each case is different.
What if I don’t know where one heir is?
Missing heirs are common and can often be addressed through legal processes.

Often yes—but not always. We help determine what’s required.
Who pays for probate or title work?
When we’re involved, we typically cover these costs as part of the purchase.
