I had a quick thought, if it goes to Tax Sale like they were wanting to do would they incur some form of expense like having a tax liability added to their taxes or some cost that they would have to pay for the process? I would find out what that process looks like and be able to explain what it would look like for them. If it's not something they would want to do it could add more value to your relationship with them and be the thing to swing it your way. 

Hey @Chavis Atkins, 

 I wanted to ask a few questions that might help to understand the Aff of Heirship. I used to work for Carmax and we used them to buy cars from people all the time. I know there would be some differences from real estate but it might help you figure out what to do because everyone above seems to be giving solid advice. 

When I processed the Aff of Heirship there had to be a will or death certificate present. You said there is no will so there should be a death certificate. On the D.C. it has to show who the next of kin is or the person of notification upon death. This person is the only person that can legally complete any paperwork after the owner is deceased. The only way around that is for them to transfer the property to someone else (which requires the Aff of Heirship). Once you have the next of kin present you have to have the affidavit filled out based on the title from the property being sold and signed by the seller, the buyer and a notary. 

I would suggest that you call a notary about the affidavit and the ability to purchase a house with one to clarify any questions. But the folks above me have been doing this longer and I would hear them out. Additionally I agree that if you have built the rapport with the family that you can get anything you need to done. Just keep positive and make sure that you answer any questions they might have. 

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
