Both owners on vacant house are deceased now what???

[Joe Tellez]

So found a vacant boarded house and went to county website found out owners names..googled around and found out they are both dead...so now what?? get a hold of the children? If so how do I find out their names to start looking for them? Or is there another way?

Regarding the above post, I have actually tracked down owners of abandoned properties and heard from them that their siblings were bickering over the options for the property so it wasn't on the market. One that I drive by often is just a vacant lot now as it was bulldozed a few years ago. It was definitely a viable fixer upper when we first inquired. I watched it deteriorate. Sad...

 Experience and continual education has provided me many other tools, including a technique to deal with this very scenario that I call buying property "Pizza-by-the-Slice"
