The deceased interest
Hello everyone. I am trying to acquire a property, but I have a situation that I need help with.
The situation is a married couple (who had children before they tied the knot) owned a single family home prior to them passing away; and neither the husband, nor the wife had a will. Thus — the property is still in the name of deceased owners.
After some research, I was able to contact the husband's daughter. She wants to sale her father's interest, which she will file the necessary paperwork to transfer his interest into her name. But the problem is the decease wife interest. The daughter states she does not know where the heirs of the wife live; and she hasn't seen at least one of the heirs in over 8 years.
Does anyone have a legal suggestion on what I can do to purchase this property, I cannot locate the deceased wife heirs?
Thanks!
