Need help sorting out a seller problem

[Javonne Gray]

Hello,

My husband and I are new to wholesaling we have had a few leads come through but none that were both situationally and financially motivated. We got a call from a seller who is both but we do not know exactly how to help him. He has has owned this home for 35+ years with his brother who left Ohio decades ago to live in AZ. He passed away 1.5 years ago and has two surviving children. The children were unaware of the home and deny that it went through the probate process but they do not want anything to do with the property. 

Would they just need the heirs of his brother's estate to deed over the house? Or is there a more complex legal process that would need to take place to clear the title?
