The aunt whom is related on through marriage was listed as the last rightful owner on county record, and her family is over seas.

What kind of marriage is that?

.) -- including a lien on the stock of a cooperative housing corporation (a “co-op”) -- no lender can enforce its due-on-sale clause due to any of the following prevalent circumstances:(1) The creation of a lien (or other encumbrance subordinate to the lender's security instrument) that does not relate to a transfer of rights of occupancy in the property;(2) The creation of a purchase money security interest for household appliances;(3) A transfer by devise, descent, or operation of law on the death of a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety;(4) The granting of a leasehold interest of three years or less* not containing an option to purchase(5) A transfer to a relative resulting from the death of a borrower;(6) A transfer where the spouse or children of the borrower would become owners of the property;(7) A transfer resulting from a decree of dissolution of marriage, legal separation agreement, or from an incidental property settlement agreement, by which the spouse of the borrower becomes an owner of the property(8) A transfer of the borrower’s property into an inter vivos trust in which the borrower is and remains a beneficiary and which [trust agreement] does not relate to a transfer of rights of occupancy in the property; or(9) Any other transfer or disposition described in regulations prescribed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.

Its like a marriage, so you need to be really compatible.

@Shannon Elam welcome to BPCongrats on upcoming marriage

I think the most likely heir is the stepson, unless the son had kids or he remarried or he has some other kids from another marriage.

no. i have never been there. it's probably about an hour from me. i tend to do what the guru's advice.... stay in an area where i know. and i literally buy about 1-2 mile radius and know those 4-5 sub divisions like the back of my hand. i do my own repair calls, so going there would be a drain on my marriage. :)

I've been studying REI in one way or another since '05 - ready to actually apply the knowledge now and grow my business.In the last couple of years, I've also come to the realization with my marriage, the birth of one kid, and another soon on the way, that this whole "life" experience will end someday and I'd like to enjoy it as much as possible with my growing family.

Partnerships are like a marriage: easy to say "I do" but much more complicated if and when you decide "I don't".

I'm also in Germantown and have been here since 1986 except a few years early in marriage in Colorado.
