What It Really Means to Inherit a Home in Louisiana
Inheriting a property puts you in a situation most people have never planned for. You’re suddenly responsible for taxes, insurance, maintenance, and mortgage payments often while managing grief at the same time. And in Louisiana, the process has its own legal layer: succession, the state’s version of probate, which must be resolved before title can transfer cleanly.
Abbott Price covers succession costs upfront, then takes them out of the purchase price at closing. You pay nothing out of pocket, and you don’t need to complete the court process before selling.
Our founder has closed more than 200 succession deals throughout his career in Greater New Orleans real estate. You’re in experienced hands.

Common Questions About Selling an Inherited Home
Selling inherited property involves processes most people have never dealt with. Here’s what we hear most:
Can I sell an inherited home in Louisiana without completing succession or probate first?
Yes. Abbott Price covers succession costs upfront — we take them out of the purchase price at closing, so you pay nothing out of pocket. You don’t need to finish the court process before selling. Succession on your own typically takes 6 to 12 months. We eliminate that wait entirely.
What’s the difference between succession and probate in Louisiana?
Louisiana uses the term succession instead of probate — it’s the legal process of transferring a deceased person’s assets to heirs. The mechanics are similar to probate in other states but follow Louisiana’s unique civil law system. If you’re coming from out of state, what you call probate is what Louisianans call succession.
How fast can Abbott Price close on an inherited property?
Our average is 12 days from accepted offer to close — and we can move faster when needed. Title typically drives the timeline, not us. When closings run longer, it’s usually at the seller’s request.
Does the home need to be cleaned out or repaired before selling?
No. We buy inherited homes as-is. Leave the contents, skip the repairs. We’ve bought homes in every condition — and we’re not put off by what we find.
What areas in Greater New Orleans does Abbott Price serve?
We buy inherited homes throughout Greater New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Including Covington, Slidell, Kenner, Laplace, Hammond, the Westbank, and surrounding communities.
Can I keep the sale private?
Yes. We operate with full discretion. Non-disclosure agreements are available upon request — just ask.
Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
There is absolutely no obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your home to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
What People Are Saying
Real Sellers. Real Results.
Last year I inherited my mother’s home after her passing. I was approached by a few companies about selling but decided to work with Abbott Price because of a few reasons. First off, the gentlemen on the phone and in person were both respectful and professional. Secondly, they were not scared away by the condition of the home I was selling. In a strange way, they seemed to love it and even welcomed the challenge. And last but not certainly not least, they gave me the strongest offer right after our first meeting.
★★★★★ Briana R.
The Abbott Price team has been a blessing for me and my family. They reached out about my home over the weekend, came and saw it that Monday and we closed the following Friday. It was truly unbelievable. Thank you again!
