Not enough information here to answer this question accurately.Is the home a total loss? 

A break even into a profit, and a profit into a windfall. 3- Capital - I used to state this as access to capital, back when the rules were loser, the regulations less onerous, and information less readily available.

I always find myself getting caught up in YouTube videos, but they're never really informative.

I am about to buy my first property in Ohio and I would like to gain as much information as I can in regards to the different legal issues of which I can face in Ohio.

Cool such  an awesome and informative post!!

Need a little more information to throw out a few ideas. 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

I have the information I need to send letters to the owners of said lots. 

If it does go to probate, hopefully your brothers and you can amicably go the informal route vs formal (I've worked with families in both when buying properties out of probate and informal is FAR easier).Since there's no debt on the house, maybe you could sell with financing or maybe you could even buy out your brothers with financing -- that way you maintain ownership and just pay them a monthly amount.

It served us well, along with the other detailed information they could provide, to make an informed decision.
