Probate is confusing
You don't know what the estate needs to go through before you can sell, or how long it will take.
๐Ÿ”จ
The property needs work
Deferred maintenance, structural issues, or years of neglect make the home difficult to sell conventionally.
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ
Multiple heirs, different opinions
Family members disagree on whether to sell, what price to accept, or what to do with the contents.
โœˆ๏ธ
You live out of state
Managing a property in Chicago from another city or state is expensive and logistically complicated.

Illinois Probate Overview
If the property was solely in the deceased's name, it typically must go through probate before it can be transferred or sold. Exceptions exist for jointly held titles, living trusts, and transfer-on-death deeds.
We work alongside your estate attorney, not instead of them. Our role is to handle the real estate so you can focus on the legal process and your family.

I inherited a property that was in serious disrepair and had no idea how to handle it. HAP found investors willing to fund the repairs, then helped me sell for a great price. The whole experience was genuinely stress-free.

Answers you
actually need.

In most Illinois cases, yes, if the property was solely in the deceased's name. However, there are exceptions depending on how title was held (joint tenancy, trust, transfer-on-death deed). We can help you understand your situation and coordinate with your estate attorney.

This is one of the most common situations we handle. Our investor network purchases properties in any condition, completely as-is. We can also connect you with investors who fund the repairs themselves to maximize your final sale price.

All heirs with an interest in the property typically must agree to the sale. We can help facilitate that conversation professionally and without taking sides. If one heir is uncooperative, an estate attorney can advise on legal remedies.

Absolutely. We regularly work with out-of-state heirs. We handle everything on the ground in Chicago (property access, inspections, contractor coordination) and communicate with you remotely throughout the process.
