How it sold

The land was easy. The title needed a will taken through probate.

The land itself was straightforward: a flat 27 acres, timbered about ten years ago and growing back, with about 840 ft on a paved county road and power on poles along the front. A buyer was under contract within two weeks.

The title was the hard part. The deed was in the names of the owner and his late wife. There was a will leaving the land to him, but it had never been probated, so nobody could sign a clean deed.

So the closing attorney opened the estate in Dodge County Probate Court. Both sons acknowledged service, one of them from Canada through a US consulate. The notice ran in the local paper for four weeks, the objection deadline passed, and the owner took his executor's oath before the probate judge by video. We extended the buyer's closing three times while that ran, and both closings went through on March 31, 2026, six days after the oath.

What we learned

A will that was never probated cannot sign a deed.

Septic
Buyer verifies

No perc or soil test was ever done, and the health department never returned our call. A home needs a well and septic.

Selling land?

If you own something like this, we would like to hear about it.

Odd lots, divided parcels, land with a question hanging over it: that is most of what we buy. We do the survey, the soil work and the calls to the city and county ourselves, and we put what we find in writing.
