@Hannah Canario  I have a property in North Bergen as well close to the Jersey City border and I've been able to find good tenants through the sites mentioned above.

The owner of record has deceased for a few years and the neighbor says the deceased owner's girlfriend still lives there.What steps can be taken to track down the estate and "relocate the quatter" to make a sale possible?

I've done many, many probate deals whereby the decedent had a mortgage, family didn't know (or claimed ignorance of its existence).Where it can be tricky is getting the loan servicer to provide the things you'll need as part of you due diligence list; things your seller typically won't have or know how to help you.One of those items is a copy of the original promissory note signed by (now deceased) borrower. 

But Like I said, this is not legal/tax advice and you should consult with a cross border specialist before making any move.  

BTW don't tell them you are going to be mailing them to buy the deceased's real estate.

I think 5 is probably the correct number to have.With everyone else that having Boston and Cambridge as different sub sections makes no sense since they border each other.  

The property is now an asset of the estate of the deceased individual, and, depending on the wording of the Will, if there is a Will, or the wording of the Indiana statute regarding probate and succession if there is not a Will, you can only buy the property from a person with Letters Testamentary, or the Indiana equivalent, from the probate court.

My wife and had been living at my mother in laws for 7 years. She passed away abd wants my wife to have the house. We are still living in it and my wife is working with probate to become the executer of the estate thr...

@Derreck WellsThis property is actually right over the Maine border in NH.

Both the Royal Bank and TD have cross border programs that may be able to help.
