How to buy house when both owners are deceased .
Hi everyone, I need some help.
I have located a house that has been abandoned for over a year. It’s in a great area and it needs some work, but looks good.
I checked the tax assessors office to see who owns it. It has $3000 back taxes, and two Listed owns.
Upon searching for the owns I found that they were both deceased!
How would I go about buying this house? I’m new to real estate investing so any help would be appreciated.

Find heirs and get them to probate property. Get it under contract from heirs. Probate office could give permission for the estate to sell the property before probate is finished.
Buy it at the next Tax sale. Contact delinquent tax office and find out when it will come up for sale.
Get all eligible heirs to sign a Quit Claim deed to you and keep it and rent it forever.
