Due to the high volume of probate filings in Miami-Dade County, formal administration typically takes 8 to 12 months. Summary administration for qualifying estates can be completed in 6 to 8 weeks. Miami-Dade’s court volume means timelines can run slightly longer than other Florida counties, which makes having a committed buyer — like The Building Buyer — locked in early particularly valuable for your family.

Yes. You can enter a purchase agreement during probate, and The Building Buyer will commit to that agreement from day one. The closing cannot occur until the Miami-Dade Circuit Court Probate Division issues an authorization order. We work directly with your probate attorney to coordinate the closing immediately after court clearance is received.

Under Florida law, all heirs with an interest in the property must agree to the sale unless the personal representative has independent authority granted by the Miami-Dade Probate Court. If heirs cannot reach agreement, the personal representative can petition the court for authorization, or any heir can file a partition action. The Building Buyer has experience working with multi-heir estates and can help facilitate family discussions by providing a clear, fair written offer.

The Building Buyer purchases properties with reverse mortgages, pre-foreclosure notices, and other financial encumbrances. These situations are common in Miami-Dade estate sales, particularly with elderly homeowners. We have specific experience navigating these situations and can often close quickly enough to halt foreclosure proceedings through the sale.
