Probate Property or Quit Claim. Need Attorney Help Pennsylvania

[Derrick Alexis]

Hey BP,

So I just talked to a hot lead I’m pursuing on wholesaling but there seems to be quite a few issues. The details are as follows:

Owner of the property has passed away about 10 years ago, and the only living relatives are a step mother (94 yrs old) who was still married to the father prior to the fathers death and the brother of the owner who is a drug addict and cannot be found.

How would I go about this situation? Is probate necessary or would this be a scenario where a quit claim deed is required?

Are there any attorney in PA who can help with any info on this type of situation? I would really like to lock up this deal as it is HIGH EQUITY.

Thanks is advance!
