Inheriting Land in Florida Isn’t as Simple as It Sounds
Many people assume inherited land can simply be sold. In reality, it often comes with complications you didn’t ask for and may not be prepared to deal with.
You might be:
- Living out of state
- Unfamiliar with Florida probate rules
- One of several heirs who don’t agree
- Unsure who actually owns what
- Sitting on land you don’t want or can’t use
Meanwhile, property taxes continue, paperwork is unclear, and every “simple” question seems to lead to a legal answer you don’t fully understand.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone – there is a way through it.
Why Inherited Land Is Often Hard to Sell
Inherited land frequently comes with issues that prevent a normal sale. Some of the most common include:
- Probate has not been completed
The property is still legally owned by the deceased person’s estate. - Multiple heirs on the title
All heirs may need to agree – or even be located – before a sale can happen. - No will or unclear ownership
Determining legal ownership can take time and legal work. - Clouded or defective title
Old deeds, missing documents, or unresolved claims can block a sale. - Missing or uncooperative heirs
One missing signature can stop everything. - Unpaid property taxes or liens
These must usually be resolved before closing. - Vacant land that no one is using
Often inherited land sits unused for years while problems compound.
Traditional buyers and real estate agents usually walk away from situations like these. We don’t.
Can You Sell Inherited Land in Florida?
Yes – but how you sell inherited land depends on the situation.
If Probate Is Required
In many cases, probate must be opened or completed before the land can be sold. This process determines who has legal authority to sell and distribute proceeds.
If There Are Multiple Heirs
Inherited land with more than one heir is often considered heirs property. These situations require careful handling to ensure everyone’s interests are addressed.
If the Title Is Clouded
Title issues must usually be resolved before closing. This can involve corrective deeds, quiet title actions, or other legal steps.
Most buyers don’t want to deal with these complications. All Acres does.

Option 1: The Traditional Route
- Hire a probate or real estate attorney

- We review your situation at no cost
- We handle probate and title issues when appropriate
- No upfront legal expenses
- One clean solution
- Cash purchase once everything is resolved
Our goal is clarity and closure – not pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to complete probate before selling inherited land?

What if one heir doesn’t want to sell?
This is common. There may still be options depending on ownership structure and circumstances.
Can inherited land be sold if the deed is lost?
In many cases, yes. Title issues like this can often be resolved.

When we’re involved, we cover these costs as part of the purchase. There are no out-of-pocket costs to you.
How long does it take to sell inherited land in Florida?
Timelines vary. Some situations resolve in weeks, others take longer depending on probate and title complexity.
