Need Advice!! Buying Abandoned Foreclosure

[Amber Simmons]

Hello Everyone! I need a little help as I’m not sure what to do in this situation. Scenario: I have a family (wife and children) that would like to sell their home that is in pre foreclosure. The problem is the only person on the title is the husband. Unfortunately, the husband abandoned the home and his family and fled to another country ( along with all the money from their accounts and family business) and hasn’t been heard of since. The husband left a few years ago and the wife and children have been maintaining the house since he left. They have been unable to keep up with payments recently which is why they are in pre foreclosure. They just want to move on from this house. Is there anything that can be done since the wife is not on title and the husband is nowhere to be found??? Note- not sure if this matters but wife filed bankruptcy earlier this year Thanks! Amber
