Does anyone know what the difference between the following are regarding probate cases:1) Informal Probate of Will with Appointment of Personal Representative2) Filing of will of deceased no petition3) Informal Appointment of Personal Representative4) Formal Adjudication of Intestacy and Appointment of Personal Representative5) Voluntary Statement6) Equity Petition7) Equity Complaint8) Equity - Partition9) Formal Probate of Will with Appointment of Personal RepresentativeWhen I am at the courthouse going through records these appear to be case types however I am trying to understand what each mean, so I can hone in on people who have real property to dispose of.

When I was about to leave, a neighbor told me to check plumbing before closing because she was told by the deceased person who lived there that it clogged and he defecated and through it out on a plastic bag on the trash.

She informed me that the home is still in her deceased sisters name.

I found a distressed property in a trust too with both owners deceased. thanks!

Hello, i came across this site about a week ago interested in Real estate, coasting through the forums and searching for material that could help me gain some knowledge or give me a head start in the right direction.I came across a motivational thread on books, so i went to borders, bought rich dad poor dad - Read that book in about 3 days ( very inspiring and a eye opener ) i am currently reading Think and Grow Rich, by N.Hill and re authored for the 21 century, interesting but a motivational book at best, after this book id like to read some books that i can actually get some hard knowledge on the subject, im just not sure how to start, where to begin to read?

It is in Chicago, basically on the border of Avondale, Kilbourn Park, and Old Irving park neighborhoods. 

@Mike Makkar  I crack up at your comment that Texas building costs are so high.. our costs are well over double what you guys pay you have some of the cheapest in the country.. you can build pretty cheap in metro Atlanta as well.land in the path of progress makes more millionaires than any buy and hold scenario unless you have A lot of buy and hold capacity..I bought a 4 acre piece in CA. in 1994 for 28k  NON buildable but bordered city.. it just finally got brought in.. and across the street the largest Indian gaming casino in the state was built over 300 million project.. we are about to get upzoned to flex resi commercial and I think my value at that time is about 3 million...

The western border is the one we focus on.

You can invest 50k in RE and 50k in stocks, bonds, mutual funds etc vs atleast 125k+ to purchase a multi-family in nyc then another 7-10 years to be able to save that moneyWith $100K, i can get you $25k+ a year in net income, comfortably, enough for you to even retire south of the border! 

Likewise, the traditionally Polish/Slavic neighborhoods to the near southwest are showing promise.As for other markets, think about the entire 50-mile corridor south of Milwaukee and stretching to the Illinois border.
