Attorneys Help! Title is in Limbo
So I have a property under contract and the title has two names on it, one of which has left a will and has heirs that I am dealing with. The other name belongs to a woman who seems to have no heirs. My title company is saying that if I cannot produce an heir to fill out the affidavit of heirship, I'll have to consult with an attorney to remove the name from title. I'd rather not fork up the attorney fees and I'm not sure the seller would even be able to either. If it's my only option I will but are there any other options? Any help would be appreciated it.
