Difficult Possible Probate Situation
Please help!!! I'm dealing with a situation where there is strife in the family. Father passed away 5 years and left behind a home that is free and clear, however, he never created a will. There are multiple children, some living in the property and some not. The ones living in the house did not pay property taxes so it is going to default to the county in a month. At this point, no one wants to pay the taxes.
My question is, can I still wholesale this property if I find an investor who is willing to pay the back taxes and set up an agreement to have the house deeded to the buyer after probate is over? I guess the difficult part of this is that they are not currently in probate therefore there is no executor or administrator... what can be done in this situation until I help them get the probate process started?
