Rick Harmon I'm going stick with this one and see where it goes. The family doesn't seem to know what to do with the home and was content to let the foreclosure complete. I guess my talking points with a probate attorney would be to determine if probate has to be opened in order for the children to sell to me. I'm afraid they'll say yes, just to collect a fee, like some bankruptcy lawyers in town will do.
Coincidentally, I lost out on another probate prospect today. The heir opened probate bc their extended family is kicking them out of the house. It's also in foreclosure, so I dropped off an option to purchase to their attorney last week. Today the attorney called and said they're mailing it back to me bc they don't do options. I said I'll drop off the purchase agreement and they declined. Interesting....
