I have a seller who needs a short sale on a 10K+ sq ft house with 1 acre. Do you have experience with short sales?

Post: Probate: copy of the Will & Letters of Testamentary

Hi BP!

I actually have 2 properties under contract via virtual wholesaling!! It's the same seller. One of the properties is solely in the widow's trust, the other property is in her trust as well as her deceased husband's name. Title company says they need a copy of the Will, and the Letters of Testamentary from the Probate Court. She's already gotten to me a copy of the death certificate and she sent me a copy of what was filed for the will but it isn't the actual will nor does it read as something approved by Probate. 

Am I able to get a copy of the Will, and the Letters of Testamentary from the Probate Court without being a relative? Or if she gives permission, can I get directly from the lawyer? I'm trying to do as much as I can for her so I actually become someone solving her problem, and decreasing her work, not adding to it or giving her more. She is very motivated so the docs are going to be needed regardless of who she sells to but of course I need that to be me LOL.

Anyone with experience in probate know if I can get these documents myself somewhere? Would they be available in-person at a courthouse? If so, would you suggest I hire someone to go get them for me?

Contracts signed yesterday so I'm excited to hear the answers to this! :)

Hi BP,

I'm looking for any Weslaco and/or Mercedes Texas area realtors or investors (preferably the latter) or people investing in the Rio Grande Valley. I haven't found many by searching so hopefully someone has these keywords set up! LOL I'm trying to find someone familiar with the area and its comps.

TIA,

Erin

Ok - thank you for that tip!

I listened to a webinar last night .... I was surprised, after hearing Ross show only bits and pieces of successful investors on videos, at how long the thing was lol. My baby woke up, needed to be changed, burped, and I had been listening on my headset and 90 minutes later I still hear his voice coming through my headset LOL. I chatted with Sales for 2 minutes because I wanted to understand the pricing - $1497 up front + $97/month.. and Sales confirmed the $1497 was just for instant access. Umm how about no - I'm not paying that much just for access to anything. 

So today I get a call from a guy named Lou that works there basically trying to get my to buy and he told me i could pay $1997 for everything and that last would last 12 months (first 3 months are free). I told him I was more interested, which I was, but I needed to look at reviews first.

BP never fails me! I have not seen one good review about this product so I'll be passing.
