Hi all, my wife and I have located a vacant property that would be a great fix and flip, however after a public records search it appears the owner is incarcerated and will be for 8 more years.

The decedent did not name someone to be the executor of his estate;The decedent named someone as the executor BUT that person passed away or cannot act due to incapacity, incarceration, felony conviction, unwillingness to act, etc;The executor was subsequently removed by the court or he resigned.Priority Additionally, according to Surrogate’s Court Procedures Act Section 1418(1), there is a hierarchy of which individual is allowed to receive the Letters of Administration CTA in the following order:(a) to a sole beneficiary or if he be dead to his fiduciary;-this is when there is only beneficiary in the will who stands to inherit the deceased’s entire estate.

For those who have been incarcerated, three elements help them succeed: employment, housing, and connection to the community.

He got his back rent in about 10 days, the threat of incarceration helped.

Divorce, death incarceration, city violations and evictions are all some telltale signs that a property is probably going to be a good house to buy and the seller might not even know it yet.

Then I came into a creative deal involving a guy who was incarcerated and I helped him avoid foreclosure on his SFH. 

Get several emergency contacts and have her sign a form naming a person who can come get her belongings "in the event of unanticipated prolonged absence"  (death or incarceration! 

No venture is worth the risk of incarceration or fines!

I've been thinking of creating a short statement like, "In the event of my demise, incarceration, or disappearance, I authorize ____________________________ to remove my possessions on my behalf."

"Blocking formerly incarcerated people from accessing stable housing is an extrajudicial punishment not consistent with the rule of law."
