@Jaysen MedhurstTaxes are very low now, 20k is for NY state first gift, and I can cover taxes, for the taxes I didn’t add space I just renovated and by has 2 programs to grieve taxes..

Clayton,Mail to the heirs and not right after the owner dies but wait a little bit longer until the heir has time to grieve (maybe wait 3 months after).If you're short on budget, buy business cards, attend networking meetings and talk to as many probate attorneys you can.

Maybe you could grieve the taxes?

Guess what an attorney can get grieved for doing a business deal with a client. 

@Sean Grieve Would suggest joining Diversified Investors Group where you can identify those professionals to become of your power team.

They will say you took advantage of a grieving widow for your own personal financial gain.

@Tony F.If you are, the family of the decedent will probably not file a petition for probate until approximately 2-3 months after the publication of the obituary.To legally purchase the decedents property then petition for probate will have to be filed and the PR will have to be confirmed by the court.During the 2-3 month period grieving, duress, confusion, etc.,  is going on within the family and no one is in their correct state of mind..The PR (Personal Representative) is the person you'll have to contact as they are responsible to distribute assets including selling the property.They make the decision on which real estate agent they choose to hire to list/sell the property and/or which wholesaler they decide to work with.

I hate to say it but I think one of the main goals of these a** clowns is to incite a response out of a grieving family member or friend.

I would hate to have to trust this guy while grieving the loss of a loved one.

That said, 8 large dogs and your neighbor's kid was only "bit" was lucky you don't have a grieving mother on the news of their kid becoming a dreadful statistic.
