Pasco shares a judicial circuit with Pinellas, so the probate process is familiar ground for us and for the attorneys we work with. We buy inherited houses from Holiday and New Port Richey up through Hudson, across to Land O’ Lakes and Wesley Chapel, and east to Zephyrhills and Dade City.

Look up the house and the taxes
- Pasco County Property Appraiser — search the address to see the owner of record, the last deed, and whether a homestead exemption was in place.
- Pasco County Tax Collector — check for unpaid property taxes and tax certificates. Unpaid taxes become tax certificates, and certificate holders can apply for a tax deed sale about two years later — the one clock that doesn’t wait for probate.
We run both of these checks for every family who calls, at no charge, and explain what we find.
Short version: if you want the house sold, we pay for the probate and get the attorney working within 24 hours — call or text (727) 353-6206, or use the form.
Inherited houses in Pasco County
West Pasco in particular — Holiday, Elfers, Port Richey, Bayonet Point, Jasmine Estates — has an enormous stock of 1970s–1980s retirement houses whose owners have passed, often with children in other states. Many were homesteads, which means every heir signs and a homestead order is needed. Pasco’s coastline also carries flood-zone and FEMA 50% rule issues we deal with constantly.
