Probate Question

[Joshua Wilson]

Hi everyone. I am looking to buy my first property that happens to be a probate deal. Currently all parties are ready to move forward , however there are problems with the Title. Supposedly the executor of the estate illegally( because she only inherited 50% interest in the property) deeded the property to two unknown gentlemen( around 6-7+ years ago).  The lawyer and myself are in the process of locating the gentlemen so that we could move forward with clearing title, but have been unsuccessful with locating the men. Any advice as to how to go about clearing Title without having to find these gentlemen? Or any advice period ? Thanks in advance. This is in Los Angeles County.
