Mom- now deceased didn't have a will.

Closing on a SFR in Holiday/Tarpon Springs border. and looking for licensed/qualified subs for the job.

I'm a bit biased in my opinion, as my property management company manages Hartford County, from Bristol to Vernon up to the MA border.

@Ethan Smith Johnson City and Binghamton are together between the rivers and highway, and you wouldn't necessarily notice crossing the border between one and the other.

Next you need to find yourself an accountant and an attorney who are knowledgable in cross-border business (taxation, finance, business structure/organisation), bring your objectives and sit down with them to determine the approach which best meets your current need and future plans.
