@Scott Wolf

Thanks. When you say "did not care" does that mean you did not have to go through probate?

Hi All. Are there Any title companies out there known to allow some sort of affidavits from heirs to suffice for an official probating of an estate?

I understand that typically title companies like to see in the estate probated and a legal representative appointed before a property can be conveyed from the estate to another party. However I have seen rare instances, many years ago, where a title company allowed affidavits from heirs to take the place of an actual probate.

Any national title companies out there that might allow such a thing? In my particular case, the decedent passed away as a resident of Mississippi but owns a property in New jersey. Thanks in advance.

@Jim K.

I immediately add the 8+7 to get 15 so I can carry the one over to the 4+2.

@Michael A Moore Jr

One thing that wasn't mentioned was payments. hopefully you're staying ahead of your contractors with your payments. In other words your only paying for work that was done and not paying for work that hasn't yet been done.

@Ishmael Johnson

There's also your attorney fee. Particularly if you're in North Jersey we're using attorneys are customary.

On a side note, if the property is three units or more or owned by a business entity, you will have to get a bulk sale exemption from trenton. Your attorney or the buyer's attorney will typically handle this.

@Roberto Delgado

You can check the County Probate Office for a file of the wife if there is one. You can also find out her date of death and search for her obituary. if she had children they should be mentioned there. Good luck.

@Rene Owczarski

Thanks for chiming in. And thanks for the suggestions. I'll do some digging and see if I can find out more. I'm also connected to a couple of loan reps so maybe they can point me in the right direction. Take care.

@Natalie Schanne

Guess she's willing to do that if she has to but I promised her I would assist in finding other options if they were available. Thanks much for your response.
