Six clocks can be running
“Cash buyer” does not mean every inherited home can close tomorrow.
A buyer may move quickly while authority, court procedure, title, debt, access, or contract choices still control the calendar.
Authority
Recorded ownership, court appointment, trustee powers, co-representatives, and missing proof.
Court
Notice, creditor, appraisal, confirmation, reporting, or hearing steps that may apply locally.
Title and debt
Old deeds, missing interests, mortgage payoff, property taxes, liens, judgments, and corrections.
People and possession
Heir decisions, tenants, family occupants, belongings, access, and moving arrangements.
Property
Walkthrough access, severe damage, environmental concerns, vehicles, or regulated materials.
Contract
Inspection rights, funding, extensions, closing costs, and cancellation terms.
