Inherited Property, can I buy it?
Hey guys,
So I have a property I want to put under contract in Ohio. The seller basically wants out and are willing to almost give it away. They have some back taxes and its going to auction on August 1st so they agreed to sell it to me.
One issue, the owner passed away and there was no will left for the house. None of the children, except one, wanted anything to do with the house so he paid it off and moved in.
Would I still be able to purchase the property and let them decide who gets the money later? How do I get around this? Keep in mind the auction is on August 1st, so I have a little less than two weeks to close.
TIA!

Get a title company or attorney if you want to settle before auction. It may be too late already. You most likely will need to have the whole family sign off. You may have to buy it at auction.
