Your seller is not the decedent, it is the decedent's heirs. I imagine the title company will have an interesting time determining who those heirs are under the laws of some foreign nation.

On top of that you'll need to be sure that FIRPTA is dealt with properly... withholding is the responsibility of the buyer.

Good luck.

Thanks for reply, if title company says everything is good and no issues, can I buy the property or do i still need to consult an attorney and get his opinion, sorry, first time buying and stressed out.

If i have title insurance will that protect me from future problems when i sell the house.

TIA

Im planning to but a house where seller is

A foreign national.

Deceased, without leaving a valid will.

Has a husband two kids, husband is not in US, one kid is in US, another foreign land.

In the Seller deed i see that seller had quoted a single, event though she was married and had two kids.

Will have any issue if i buy the property.

Title company is looking into the documents and asking for all sellers to be present at closing (Not sure whether they will all be there)

Do i have to worry about this ?

If Title company gives a title insurance , can i still buy this property or cancel contract.

Im worried that i might have issues down the road if i have to sell it.

Thanks in advance for advise
