Hi there Bigger Pockets, I am looking for a recommendation for a real estate attorney in Ohio. Any recommendations would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Amy, for this matter (the deceased seller I assume) you need a Cincinnati lawyer with both real estate and some probate skills. I think that would be Mike Fletcher at Griffen Fletcher and Herndon.

 Thank you Gregory! I will reach out to Mike.

Here's the situation.  . .

I am under contract on a property that was supposed to close next week. Unfortunately, the seller passed away and does not have a will or trust. So it looks like this will be headed to probate. 

The contract only had 1 contingency-the home inspection. The home inspection was completed prior to the seller passing away so all contingencies were lifted. 

I am trying to be understanding since this is a difficult time for the family and they certainly have many arrangements outside of the sale of the house to consider. But it has been about 2 weeks since the seller passed and the seller's estate has not given any information to my relator or the title company.

Given that the estate is contractually obligated to the sale & that I have money tied up in the deal (earnest money, home inspection cost, interest), I am looking for advice to move this forward and/or a suggestion for a real estate attorney in Cincinnati.


Hi Amy, I would suggest reaching out to a real estate attorney to see what's the best course of action to take. Happy to send over my list of real estate attorneys that work in the Cincy area who can help.


 Jimmy I would greatly appreciate a recommendation. 

Quote from @Lynn McGeein:

@Amy Denzler wouldn’t your settlement agent have access to an attorney who can assist? My understanding is if already under contract and through contingencies, you can petition probate court to allow completion of sale. In my tests, at least, a service contract like a listing would automatically end, but a purchase contract should be honored by the estate unless the court decides it shouldn’t. However, I’d think most contracts have a deadline for performance where you can then terminate and get your earnest money deposit back and move on. Ours is standard 10 days after settlement date unless noted otherwise.


Lynn I do plan to ask him. My intent in posting here was to get advice/perspectives from other people to bring to the table when I talk to my agent. 

Thank you for commenting on your experience. It is very helpful!

I am currently under contract on a property in Cincinnati (du-plex) & am looking for insurance broker.  If you have an insurance broker that you'd suggest please pass them along🙏

Hello BiggerPockets,

My husband and I own a duplex in Cincinnati and are looking to expand. In the spirit of making our operation scalable, I am looking for a network in Cincinnati to grow our portfolio. 

Does anyone have a property manager, relator, contractor, CPA that they can recommend in the area?

Our current property manager is not cutting the mustard (not enforcing late fees, slow to fill vacancies, etc.) and I would very much like to replace her with someone who will approach our investments with a more business minded attitude. 

Thank you all in advance for your help!
