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. You can contact Abbott Price and accept an offer before completing succession. We can coordinate the required process and advance eligible succession costs, which are deducted from the property’s purchase price at closing. This means you don’t have to pay those expenses upfront.
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?
Abbott Price can typically close quickly once succession or probate is complete. If the legal process is still pending, we can help coordinate the next steps so you’re ready to close when it’s resolved.
How much does succession or probate cost in Louisiana?
Succession or probate costs vary depending on the property and the complexity of the estate. Abbott Price can advance eligible succession/probate costs and deduct them from the purchase price at closing, so you may not have to pay those expenses upfront.
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?

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.

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!
