How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
The Hudson County Surrogate's Court admits wills to probate and grants administration when there is no will; the person it appoints has the authority to sell a Jersey City house.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Jersey City foreclosures go through the New Jersey Superior Court, and the Hudson County Sheriff holds the sheriff's sale after the final judgment. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Jersey City's Tax Collector handles property taxes; when they go unpaid, the city can sell a tax sale certificate on the property at its annual tax sale.

Selling for cash in Jersey City: questions
My Jersey City house is in a flood-prone block and has had water in the basement. Can I sell for cash?
Yes. Cash buyers in Hudson County buy houses with flood history as-is. Share what you know about past water and any insurance claims; New Jersey also requires sellers to disclose known flood history.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Jersey City?
New Jersey sales are usually closed by attorneys or a title company acting as the settlement agent; the closing pays off the mortgage, the municipal taxes and any liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Hudson 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.
