FAQ
West Palm Beach inherited property questions.
- Do I need to clean out the West Palm Beach house before selling?
- No. Leave behind anything you don't want, buyers in qualified independent buyers handle the cleanout after closing as part of the as-is purchase.
- What if there are multiple heirs?
- As long as the title can be transferred (probate complete or executor authority granted), proceeds are wired to a single closing account and split per the will or agreement.
- What about back taxes or liens?
- Paid off at closing from sale proceeds. Florida title companies handle the payoff and recording, you don't write a check.

- Inherited property typically gets a stepped-up basis to fair market value at the date of death, which usually means minimal capital gains. Confirm with a Florida CPA.
