Why Nickel City Buyers
WHY NIAGARA FALLS HOMEOWNERS
CHOOSE NCB
CHOOSE NCB
Niagara Falls estates are administered through Niagara County Surrogate’s Court at 175 Hawley Street, Lockport NY 14094 — not Erie County’s Surrogate’s Court in Buffalo. The process and legal framework are identical under NY law, but the specific court, clerks, and local procedures differ. NCB has handled estate property purchases in Niagara Falls and throughout Niagara County for over a decade — we know both court systems and work seamlessly with Niagara County estate attorneys.
Probate Experts
NCB works with Erie County Surrogate’s Court regularly. We execute purchase agreements early and close the moment the court authorizes the sale.
Leave Everything
Take what matters. Leave the rest. Full cleanout after closing at no charge — furniture, clothing, decades of belongings.
Out-of-State Heirs
Virtual walkthrough, e-sign, wire transfer. Out-of-state executors never have to travel to Cheektowaga or Buffalo.
No Fees or Commissions
$0 agent commissions, $0 repair costs, $0 closing fees to the estate. The offer is what the estate receives.
Multiple Heirs OK
We coordinate with all parties patiently — we’ve navigated complex multi-heir situations in Cheektowaga many times.
Local Since 2013
NCB is locally owned in Cheektowaga — we know Erie County, the Surrogate’s Court, and the WNY estate landscape.

INHERITED PROPERTY IN NIAGARA FALLS — FAQ
Where does Niagara Falls probate go through — Erie County or Niagara County?
Niagara Falls probate is administered through Niagara County Surrogate’s Court — located at 175 Hawley Street, Lockport NY 14094, phone (716) 439-7130. This is a different court from Erie County Surrogate’s Court in Buffalo. The NY probate law is the same, but the court, clerks, and local procedures are specific to Niagara County. NCB has worked with Niagara County Surrogate’s Court on estate property sales many times. See our Niagara County probate guide.
Can NCB buy my inherited Niagara Falls property while Niagara County probate is still open?
Yes. NCB executes a purchase agreement contingent on Niagara County Surrogate’s Court authorization, then closes the moment Letters Testamentary are issued and authority to sell is granted. We work with your Niagara County estate attorney and are experienced with the Lockport courthouse process. Call (716) 557-7005.
The inherited Niagara Falls home is in rough condition — water damage, no working heat. Does NCB buy it?
Yes. Niagara Falls properties can range from well-maintained to severely deteriorated — NCB has purchased them across the full spectrum. Water damage, inoperable heating systems, structural issues, and any level of deferred maintenance do not affect our willingness to make an offer. We buy as-is and handle all remediation after closing. You spend zero dollars on the property before the sale.
We inherited a Niagara Falls property and live out of state — can NCB handle this remotely?
Absolutely. NCB regularly handles Niagara Falls estate sales for out-of-state heirs — virtual walkthrough, all documents signed electronically, proceeds wired to the estate account. Many Niagara Falls inherited properties involve heirs living in other states who cannot travel easily to Western New York. We make it work entirely remotely. See our out-of-state executor guide.
Does the Niagara Falls estate have to pay NY estate tax?
New York State estate tax applies only to estates with a gross value over $7.16 million (2024 threshold). The vast majority of Niagara Falls estates are well below this amount and owe no NY estate tax. Federal estate tax applies to estates over $13.61 million (2024). Most estates in Niagara Falls — regardless of the property’s value — will owe no estate tax at all. Consult a CPA for your specific situation.
Can NCB buy a Niagara Falls probate property that has both a mortgage and city tax liens?
Yes. All encumbrances — mortgage balance, City of Niagara Falls tax liens, Niagara County tax liens — are resolved at closing from NCB’s purchase proceeds. The title company coordinates all payoffs. The estate receives the net after all liens are cleared. No out-of-pocket costs.
