That someone was dead, which might mean they quit claimed it to his estate.You might have to be one of their creditor's to "have a dog in this fight", check with a Las Vegas attorney (fraudulent transfer).They might have a living trust with Dominic listed as trustee also.They might be politically connected in Las Vegas (getting kid glove treatment) (Don't overlook this, LV is not Los Angles re this).After so many years as "squatters" in LV they may be able to reclaim the home.Good Luck!
