Possible problem with buying property #3
I am interested in buying a property in Dallas, TX. from a family member connected to the house. I've been told what the asking price is but, before I purchase I try to do my due diligence. When I go to the appraisal district I notice that the home is still listed in the name of the deceased owner. Soon I will contact a title company to find out about the title i.e additional liens etc. The seller assures me there are none but I'll check for myself. Can this home be sold to me if he deceased's name is still on record at the appraisal district?
