The Johnson family, spread from Florida to California, inherited their parents’ home in Garden City. The 60-year-old colonial had unpermitted work from decades prior, resulting in open violations with the local building department. As executors, they faced a daunting timeline: navigating the NY Surrogate’s Court for probate approval while simultaneously addressing repairs they couldn’t oversee from afar. A traditional sale would have required them to clear the violations first—a costly and time-consuming process—while continuing to pay property taxes and utilities on a vacant home.
Our Solution
We Buy Property NY provided a single, guaranteed cash offer that was contingent only on probate court approval. Our solution was twofold:
Legal & Administrative Handling: Our team managed all communication with the Surrogate’s Court, streamlining the paperwork for the executors. We also worked directly with the Garden City Building Department to understand the full scope of violations.
“As-Is” Purchase with Liability Transfer: We purchased the home with all violations and in its original condition. The family did not need to hire contractors or make a single repair. We assumed all liability for bringing the property up to code after closing.
The Result
Closed in 21 days after receiving the “Letters Testamentary” from the court.
Zero fees or repair costs for the Johnson family.
The heirs received a direct wire transfer at closing, allowing for the clean and fair distribution of the estate.
