Death/Probate & Wholesale

[Jason S.]

Hi All

I was researching a property that is vacant and found that the owners are both deceased. One in 2013 and the other just last month (Feb 2014).

How can I find out who has taken control of the estate or house? They did not live in the property as I said it's vacant and needs rehab.

I found the obituary saying they had a daughter in Texas and siblings in the local area. Being these owners were 70+ years old I am assuming that the property may have been left to the daughter.

Should I send a letter to the address on file with the town assessor's office? (Which is the deceased owners) Do I send a letter to the daughter? OR do I send a letter to both?

Thanks in advance.

Additional: Their address on file with assessor is a town housing authority apartment building so since he passed away while in Texas with his daughter I am assuming he completly moved out of the apartment and down to Texas.
