HAVE Trouble Locating Associates of Deceased Property Owners

HAVE Trouble Locating Associates of Deceased Property Owners

Situation: Have a house located near me which has been VACANT and BOARDED up for some time (a year plus)
Ran a Title Search on the property it appears title is VESTED in the names of (2) two woman;
One who was married, the other a Single Woman, and where each of them OWN
a 50% interest as TENANTS IN COMMON.  We believe they are both deceased.

Tenants in Common typically mean that the parties are NOT RELATED  and that upon their passing TITLE to the deceased parties
Interest in the property passes to WHOM it is named in their last will or in the absence of such a will, to the decedent's heirs.

Thus far no probate or anything else has been started with the property?
A City abatement was issued to clean up the property and was ignored so the city went ahead and cleaned it up,


Q-In a STEP By STEP approach - How would you go about finding out IF they have a will, who might be some of their heirs, and or locate someone
who would be in a position to help and has the capacity to enter into an agreement for the sale or Disposition of the property ?

Need HELP ASAP

    @Michael Morrongiello this is the house hacking forum...I mean, you might get some responses here, but you'll get a TON more in the "Buying/Selling" forum.  That's the whole point of that forum.  Just a thought.
