Common situations in Lancaster County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Lincoln estates are opened in the Lancaster County Court, which can name a personal representative with authority to sell the house.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
In Lancaster County a deed-of-trust foreclosure usually ends in a trustee's sale; a foreclosure filed in court ends with the Lancaster County Sheriff selling the house. 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 Lancaster County Treasurer, which holds an annual tax sale of delinquent properties; owners have a period to redeem afterward.

Selling for cash in Lincoln: questions
I own a worn-out student rental near the University of Nebraska. Do I have to wait until the lease ends to sell?
No. A cash buyer can buy the house with the students in place and take over the lease. Share the lease dates, the rent and the deposits so they are handled at closing.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Lincoln?
Nebraska sales usually close through a title company, which pays off the mortgage, the county taxes and any liens before you receive your money. Once you accept an offer, most Lancaster 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.
