Purchasing a probate home in Philadelphia
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any experience purchasing probate homes in Philadelphia PA. I know 3 addresses where the people are deceased and after speaking with neighbors know they have no kin. The houses have been sitting for almost a year or more. How could I go about purchasing them? Any information would be helpful. Maybe an attorney that specializes in this in Philadelphia. Thank you in advance.

I have dealt with quite a few situations that went through probate. They can be tough to close because of multiple heirs but they tend to be quite profitable.
