Probate property in Detroit: what to expect
Probate property in Detroit is a house owned by someone who has died, often sold by a family member acting for the estate. Investors and wholesalers buy these homes as-is because heirs often live out of state, the house needs work, or the family wants to settle quickly.
Before an estate can sell a house, someone usually needs authority to sign. In Michigan that often means a personal representative appointed by the county probate court (in Detroit, the Wayne County Probate Court), who receives Letters of Authority. Sometimes the house passed through a trust or a joint deed instead. Title companies will ask for these documents, so start there.
Compare Metro Detroit wholesalers and investors, and talk to a probate attorney before signing a purchase agreement.
What a good engagement includes
- Confirmation of who has legal authority to sell
- Letters of Authority, trust documents or deed showing ownership
- Written offer with closing date and as-is terms
- Walkthrough by the buyer before final terms
- Title search for mortgages, taxes and liens
- Agreement on removing belongings and cleanout
What drives the fee
- Condition of the house and the repairs needed
- Whether probate is open and who can sign
- Unpaid taxes, water bills or a reverse mortgage
- Number of heirs who must agree
- Cleanout and personal property removal
- How fast the estate needs to close
Rebuild Detroit does not publish fees. Ask each attorney to explain the fee basis in writing and compare.
Licensing and legal checks in Michigan
Michigan has no separate wholesaler license, but the Occupational Code defines a real estate broker broadly (MCL 339.2501): anyone who, for a fee, sells or offers to sell real estate or negotiates a sale for others. Selling your interest in a purchase contract is generally treated differently than marketing a house you do not own, but where that line falls depends on the facts. Ask whether the wholesaler holds a license through the State License Search, and have a real estate attorney review your contract.
Probate procedure, court approval and heir consent depend on the estate. A Michigan probate attorney can explain what the personal representative may sign.
