Property transfer in philadelphia

[Lisa Leary]

Hello All!!

I am a current investor in Philadelphia. And I am having a little issue!

1) I am interested in buying a property but one of the owners has died and the other owner is nowhere to be found! The property has been a bandit for over five years. This case how would I go about obtaining the deed?

2) I am also interested in buying another property but there is outstanding mortgage on the house and The owner is terminally ill. And the Son is willing to sell the house. Will I have to take the mortgage over?

If anyone can plz gave me advice, I would greatly appreciate it enjoy your Sunday!!!
