Can I Sell Inherited Land in Probate in Vermont?

May 20, 2026

By Mark Monroe

If you've inherited land in Vermont after the death of a family member, you may be wondering:

Can I sell the property while it's still in probate?

In many situations, yes, but the proper probate process may need to be followed before the property can be transferred to a buyer.

What Happens to Inherited Land in Vermont?

When someone passes away owning Vermont real estate, the property may become part of their estate.

Depending on how the property was owned and the estate was structured, an executor or administrator may need authority through Vermont Probate Court before completing a sale.

Can an Executor Sell Vermont Land?

Potentially, yes.

Vermont law provides a process for an executor or administrator to request permission to sell estate property when the sale is considered necessary or beneficial to the estate.

Every situation is different, particularly when multiple heirs are involved.

What If Several Family Members Inherited the Land?

Multiple heirs can make selling inherited property more complicated.

Common issues include:

  • Family members disagreeing about selling

  • Heirs living outside Vermont

  • Unpaid property taxes

  • Old liens

  • Unclear property boundaries

  • Vacant or overgrown land

  • Wetlands or septic issues

  • Property nobody in the family wants to maintain

These problems don't necessarily mean the property can't be sold.

Do I Need to Improve Inherited Land Before Selling?

Not necessarily.

If you've inherited Vermont land that you don't want, you may be able to sell it as-is without clearing it, installing utilities, improving access, or preparing it for a traditional listing.
