Inherited Property · Conshohocken, PA

Selling an Inherited House in Conshohocken

Conshohocken is a riverfront borough of tight older rowhomes on steep streets, and our city record lists inherited homes among its common situations. A rowhome in the borough or in West Conshohocken often has narrow stairs, a small lot and a full basement of stored belongings. When the owner dies, the heirs need legal authority before they can sell, and in Montgomery County that authority comes from the Register of Wills.

What’s different in Conshohocken

Probate in Norristown

The Register of Wills and Clerk of Orphans' Court is at One Montgomery Plaza, 425 Swede Street, 4th Floor, Norristown. Call 610-278-3400 or 610-278-3000. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., Monday through Friday, and the office takes no appointments or walk-ins after 3:30 p.m. Initial probates can be filed through Montgomery County E-Filing. An estate attorney can usually handle the filing for you. Ask the attorney to confirm what the office needs for the first visit, and plan to arrive well before 3:30 p.m. A rowhome estate is often simple on paper, but the office still needs the original will and certified proof of death before it issues letters.

The borough's use and occupancy permit

Conshohocken's use and occupancy form says the borough requires a permit when a tenant changes, and that applications may be filed for a property sale or transfer of ownership. Ask the Licenses and Inspections office whether a sale by an estate needs one and what an inspector will look at. A permit question can hold a closing, so get an answer before you set a date. If the borough requires an inspection, ask whether the buyer can agree to take items on and how that is written. Keep a copy of any inspection report with the estate's closing file, since an attorney may want it later.

Tax and authority questions

Inheritance tax in Pennsylvania is 0 percent for a spouse, 4.5 percent for direct descendants, 12 percent for siblings and 15 percent for other heirs. A 5 percent discount applies inside three months, and the tax is delinquent nine months after death. A personal representative may sell real property that was not specifically devised unless the will says otherwise, and a named devisee generally has to join the sale. The estate attorney should confirm which rule applies. A rowhome in a gentrifying area can sell for more or less than the family expects. A comparison of an as-is cash price with listing estimates, after commission and repairs, helps heirs agree faster. Share the same figures with every heir.

Checklist before you sell

Certified death certificate and the original will, if there is one
Letters testamentary or letters of administration, with extra certified copies
The deed and a list of heirs with phone numbers
Inheritance tax filing or payment record
Any borough permits, use and occupancy papers or violation notices
Tax, water and utility statements
Keys, plus the name and number of the estate attorney

How Kaizen can help

Send the address and what you know about the roof, heater and basement. Our Conshohocken record lists older rowhomes with small lots, so we ask about shared walls and access. We look at the house as it stands and quote cash with the repairs counted for you. Compare it with listing after commission, updates and months of carrying costs.

Ownership and signing authority are not ours to decide. In Montgomery County those answers come from the Register of Wills, an estate attorney and the title company. Our part is to hold an offer while letters issue and to schedule closing around the estate. Reach us at 267-329-0084.

Inherited Property in Conshohocken: questions

Can the estate sell before probate is complete?

Sometimes. A personal representative may sell real property that was not specifically devised, unless the will says otherwise. Confirm with the estate attorney first.

Does the borough require a permit when a rowhome sells?

The borough's form says use and occupancy applications may be filed for a sale or transfer of ownership. Call the borough to confirm how it applies to your address.

Do we have to empty the basement?

No. Kaizen buys as-is. Settle in the contract what stays, and set keepsakes and records aside.

Can we file for probate online?

The county says initial probates may be filed through Montgomery County E-Filing and that walk-ins are accommodated.
