What About Probate?
Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person’s estate. In Arkansas and most other states, land cannot be transferred or sold until probate is complete — or until a valid legal alternative like a small estate affidavit is used. Here’s what you need to know:
Probate already open? The executor or personal representative can sign on behalf of the estate. We work with this regularly.
Probate not started yet? We can recommend experienced probate attorneys in Arkansas who handle land estates efficiently.
Small estate affidavit? In Arkansas, estates under $100,000 may qualify for a simplified process that avoids full probate. We can help determine if your situation qualifies.
Multiple heirs? All heirs must agree and sign. We coordinate this process across different states and countries.
What About Taxes When Selling Inherited Land?
When you inherit land, the IRS provides a “stepped-up basis” — meaning your cost basis is reset to the fair market value at the time of inheritance, not what the original owner paid. This can significantly reduce your capital gains tax. For example: if your parent bought land for $10,000 in 1985 and it was worth $80,000 when you inherited it, you only owe capital gains tax on any amount above $80,000. We strongly recommend consulting a CPA before closing — we’re happy to connect you with trusted professionals if needed.
