When I was little we would always play in the Memorial Day parade... various of my siblings would vie to be the one who played the echo for Taps at the graveyard memorial.

Two of her siblings were living in the house and had not paid any of the taxes for several years and she was just tired of dealing with it and sick of throwing money away.

I will be looking into the option to purchase and the sub2 option.For this deal, it needs to be as simple as possible for the people involved because the friend needs to get approval from her siblings. 

I have two siblings willing to sell me their property.

She currently has land in her name, and will ultimately own a house there (shared with her siblings) in years to come. 

Since you already have a rental, it's easier to expand their since you already have the network, plus the siblings can help out in case of emergency/best critical decision making.

In addition, if you leave your primary residence to someone other than siblings, children, or spouse, they too are taxed.

Mom and dad passed away without a clear will and there are several siblings.  

I have a few questions; hopefully I can get some light shed on.I had a lead come in from a gentleman whom inherited a property from his dad along with his 6 siblings. 3 of the siblings are deceased now.

He also informed me that:- His brother did not have a will in place, and there are 4 or 5 siblings including him.- They have not spoken with a probate attorney, however,  the siblings are currently writing up an affidavit stating that they will all sign stating that the brother I spoke with was the care taker and is the decision maker for the property. - There is a tenant living in the house, however, no lease agreement was ever signed.My questions are:- Is there a way to avoid probate if there is not a will in place?
