Common situations in Richmond County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Estates are opened in the Richmond County Probate Court. An heir can't sign a deed for the decedent's house until the court has given someone authority, or ruled that no administration is needed.

A foreclosure on an Augusta house is normally a sale at the Richmond County courthouse after weeks of newspaper notices, not a lawsuit. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Unpaid taxes are collected by the Augusta-Richmond County Tax Commissioner, and delinquent property can go to a sheriff's tax sale.

Selling for cash in Augusta: questions
I'm stationed at the Augusta Army post and getting new orders. Can I sell my Augusta house before I leave?
Yes. A cash buyer can close around your report date, and Georgia closings can usually be signed remotely or with a power of attorney after you've moved.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Augusta?
Georgia closings are run by a real estate attorney, often working with a title company; the attorney pays off the security deed, the county taxes and any liens before you receive your money. Once you accept an offer, most Richmond County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
