Off market, vacant property left in trust to a divorced couple.
I have a situation I am sure a wholesaler has been through but I have no clue how to proceed. I have a neighbor 2 houses down who the house was given in trust to him and his wife from her father. The owner listed is both names in a specific trust. The couple is now divorced and live in a different state. The house has been completely vacant for 11 years and the ex-husband continues to pay the property taxes. My neighbors have contacted him in the past but he had no interest in selling. I would like to convince him, but I would need the answers he is lacking. How does one go about getting a divorced couple who both have names on the property (in a trust) to agree to sell it? What hoops would we need to jump through? I figured I should have these answers before approaching him.
