Losing someone is hard enough. The next steps shouldn't feel impossible.
If someone from Legacy Heir Pathrecently reached out, you probably have questions — who we are, how we found you, and what we're asking for. This page lays it all out plainly, with no pressure and nothing to sign.
We only used information that's already public.
Almost everyone asks the same thing first — “how did you even know?” The short answer: none of it is private. Here's exactly where the information comes from.
Obituaries & public notices
A passing is often shared publicly by families, funeral homes, and local newspapers — that's usually how we first learn of it. We never touch private, medical, or confidential records.
County property records
Who owns a piece of real estate is public information. County records help us see when a home may be tied to an estate that is passing to family members.
Public probate & court filings
Probate filings and other open records let us respectfully connect a property to the relatives who may now be responsible for it.
A clear path — and you set the pace.
You stay in control at every step. Here is the whole journey, from our first call to whatever you decide.
- 1
We introduce ourselves
We reach out early — before probate deadlines and carrying costs start piling up — simply to say hello and offer a hand.
- 2
We answer everything
No commitment. We'll walk you through how probate works, the options in front of you, and what to expect. Ask us anything at all.
- 3
We line up a probate attorney
When it's helpful, we introduce you to a licensed, independent probate attorney from our partner network to handle the legal side.
- 4
You decide about the property
Keep it, list it on the market, or take a no-cost cash offer from us. Sell to us and there are no repairs, showings, or agent commissions.
Selling, in four straightforward steps.
If a sale turns out to be the right move for your family, here's exactly what working with us looks like — start to finish.
- 1
An as-is cash offer
Legacy Heir Path makes a cash offer on the home exactly as it sits. We buy in any condition — cluttered, dated, needing major work, or move-in ready — so you never clean, repair, or spend a dime getting it ready.
- 2
Review it on your terms
Look the offer over on your own schedule, with zero pressure and no obligation. Nothing is signed until every question is answered and the numbers feel right for your family. When you're ready, just say the word.
- 3
We handle probate & paperwork
Most homes need to clear probate before they can be sold. We coordinate with our partner probate attorneys on the legal paperwork — and when you sell to us, that probate cost is covered by Legacy Heir Path and paid from the proceeds of the sale.
- 4
Close on your schedule
Pick the closing date that suits you. Our preferred title company can send a mobile notary right to your door, so there's no need to travel back to the area. Once it's signed, your funds go out promptly — with no commissions and no closing costs.
Earning your trust matters more than any deal.
Being contacted so soon after a loss can feel strange — we understand. So we hold ourselves to a few simple promises you can verify. If something ever feels off, please pause and check. Any honest company would want you to.
- We will never ask for money up front or a fee to “release” an inheritance.
- We will never ask for banking passwords or your Social Security number by phone.
- You are never obligated to sell — guidance and a referral cost you nothing.
- Ask us to stop contacting you at any time, and we will honor it right away.
What families usually ask us
Don't see your question? Reach out — we're glad to talk anything through with you.
The same way anyone could — through published obituaries and public death notices posted by families, funeral homes, and newspapers. We have no access to any private, medical, or confidential information about you or your family.
Heirship and property ownership are part of the public record. By reviewing publicly available county property records, probate filings, and standard public-records research, we can often identify the likely owner of a home and the relatives tied to an estate. Because this information is open to anyone, we're sometimes able to reach out sooner than other companies.
We know the timing can feel unexpected, and we're truly sorry for your loss. We make contact early only so you have information and choices well before probate deadlines and property costs (taxes, insurance, upkeep) turn urgent. There's never any pressure — you're always welcome to tell us it isn't the right time.
We're a family-focused company that helps heirs figure out what comes after a loss. We introduce families to vetted, independent probate attorneys through our partner network, help coordinate the estate and probate process, and — only if the family chooses to sell — we can buy inherited real estate directly, so you skip listing, repairs, and showings.
Not at all — there's zero obligation. Plenty of families work with us purely for guidance and a probate attorney referral. If you'd like a no-cost offer on the home, we're glad to give you one, but the choice is entirely yours. Keep it, sell it elsewhere, or do nothing — it's up to you.
Reaching out for information and answers costs you nothing. Probate attorney fees are set by the attorney you choose and disclosed to you directly. And if you decide to sell the home to Legacy Heir Path, we cover the cost of probate — paid by us out of the sale proceeds — along with typical closing costs, and there are no agent commissions.
Yes. Our partners are licensed probate and estate attorneys who represent you and your family's interests. They're independent professionals — and you're always free to use your own attorney instead.
We will never ask for money up front, banking passwords, Social Security numbers over the phone, or any payment to "release" an inheritance. We're happy to verify who we are, put everything in writing, and give you all the time you need. If anything ever feels wrong, please stop and check — that's exactly what an honest company would encourage.
Just tell us and we'll honor it right away. Reply to any message, or reach us using the details in the Contact section, and we'll remove your information from our outreach.
Talk with a real person — no pressure.
Whether you want to weigh your options, confirm who we are, or just ask a single question, we're happy to help. Reach us during business hours and someone on our team will take care of you personally.
