Deceased Owner of Property--Who gets the Property?

Robert Wilson
Posted

Hey guys. So I've been trying to get my first wholesale deal done, and I've had some ok leads but nothing I could close on.

I'm currently working with a guy whose sister passed away and he tells me that he is now the owner of her house. He showed me a copy of some will he has, but I can't make heads or tails of it. (It has been folded up and the ink is faded.) This might be a dumb question, but he has to have his name on the title of the house before he can sell it, right? He is pretty old, and is in a motorized wheelchair, and I told him that I would go downtown to..... I guess public records... clerk of circuit court?.... and see if I could find out what he needs to do before he is legally able to sell that property.

I feel like I'm close to closing my first deal, and I want to do everything I can to make it work.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge when it comes to a situation like this? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
