Sell heirs' property in Birmingham

Heirs' property is land or a house owned together by family members who inherited it without the deed being updated. To sell it, every person with an ownership share has to agree and sign. Acquily will not pretend otherwise, and we cannot buy from one heir alone. What we do is help the family clear title with an Alabama attorney, then buy the house as-is for cash with no fees.

A grandparent or great grandparent died without a will. The house passed to their children, then to their children, and the deed was never changed.

Years later there may be eight, twelve, or twenty people who each own a piece. Some live nearby, some are out of state, and some the family has lost touch with.

In the meantime, taxes and upkeep usually fall on whoever is living there or whoever cares the most. This is one of the most common reasons Black families in Birmingham lose land they have held for generations, and it is worth taking seriously.

We tell you the truth about the timeline

Clearing heirs' property takes longer than a normal sale. Months is realistic, not weeks. We say that before you invest any time with us.

We connect you with an Alabama attorney

An attorney experienced in probate and title clearing figures out who the legal owners are and what has to happen. That work has to be done by a lawyer, not by us.

Every heir has to agree

All owners sign. If one person does not want to sell, the sale does not happen through us. We will not press anyone or go around a family member.

The offer range reflects the real timeline

We show the range up front and explain how the extra title work affects it, instead of quoting a high number and cutting it later.

We are not attorneys and this is not legal advice. Alabama has laws that protect heirs' property owners, including limits on forced partition sales. An attorney can explain the rights you have before you decide anything.

Frequently asked questions

Can you buy my share if the other heirs will not sell?

No. We do not buy individual shares and we do not push families toward partition. Every owner has to agree to sell the whole property.

Do we all have to be in the same place to sign?

No. Heirs who live out of state can usually sign remotely through the closing attorney or title company.

Who pays for the attorney and title work?

Costs vary by case, so ask the attorney directly. We do not charge you a fee, and we do not promise to cover legal costs, because we will not make a promise we might not keep.

How long does clearing heirs' property take?

Longer than a regular sale. It depends on how many heirs there are and how easy they are to find. Your attorney can estimate once they see the family tree.

What if some heirs cannot be found?

The attorney has legal steps for that, including notice procedures. It adds time, and we will be honest with you about that as we go.
