How to Sell a Probate House in Florida

By Bryce Spraggins · May 28, 2026

Bryce Spraggins explains how selling a probate house works in Florida — why it's simpler than most people think, how heir order works under Florida law, and how MFMO pre-signs contracts to close within days of the court order.

What This Video Covers

Selling a probate house is honestly not that different from a regular sale — as long as the heirs agree and the paperwork is handled correctly. Bryce breaks down how the process works, why having a vetted probate attorney makes it faster and cheaper, and how My Fair Market Offer pre-signs the purchase agreement before probate is even filed so it can close within 2–3 days of receiving the court order.

Bryce also covers the question he gets asked more than almost anything else: who inherits what when someone dies without a will in Florida? Florida law (§ 732.103) sets a specific order — and the courts take it seriously. No one gets to skip the line.

Florida Intestate Heir Order (No Will) — § 732.103

If someone dies without a will in Florida, the estate passes in this order:

  1. Surviving spouse — gets everything if all descendants are also the spouse's descendants; splits 50/50 with descendants if any children are from another relationship
  2. Descendants (children first; if a child predeceased, their share passes to their children — grandchildren, great-grandchildren)
  3. Parents — split equally between mother and father if no spouse or descendants survive
  4. Siblings — and their descendants (nieces and nephews) if a sibling has already passed
  5. Grandparents — split equally between maternal and paternal sides
  6. Aunts, uncles & cousins (descendants of grandparents)
  7. Descendants of a deceased spouse
  8. State of Florida (escheat) — if absolutely no heirs are found

My Fair Market Offer is not a law firm. This is informational only — for your specific situation, consult a probate attorney.
