Notice of Pre-PreForeclosure

[Account Closed]

I know of a house in Fort Wayne IN that has an outstanding mortgage.  The owner passed away 10 months ago, with no will.

Apparently his son made an attempt to take over the house but with no will he never got anywhere and then had to hastily leave the area due to an arrest warrant. :-)

Taxes were paid in the Spring, but I'm assuming no mortgage payments have been made this year. Others have tried contacting the mortgage company but didn't get anywhere is they are not the owner.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make an offer with the mortgage company or do I just need to wait until the foreclosure is made public?
