Possible Flip - But the owner is Deceased

[Harvey Gronwald]

I have a potential flip and the number look good, the problem is that the owner has passed and the son has the signed Will. The WIll states that the property is to goto the son and another person. The son has not executed Will because he cant pay the attorney fees involved. How can I tie up this property? My goal is to purchase and flip. 

Thank you for the help

Dave, of course, knows that the Pomona courthouse has been closed for some time due to the court consolidations in Los Angeles county. 

I've had a number of probates in Pomona, no less than 60 or 70. Judge Buckner has a great sense of humor and pulled me into chambers once on a contested manner and told me a joke that, in essence, told me how he'd rule rule on a particular matter. 

Alas, my case was the punch line.
