As part of my offer, I wrote the family a letter expressing our condolences and sharing our own story with them.

@Krystal Richardson  here's a little help to assist you in tweaking your introduction letter's.You may want to add: I wish to express my deepest of condolences to you and your family on the passing of your loved one, (decedent's name). 

Tim Kane while I don't have experience or insight to offer on this subject matter, I just wanted to wish you my condolences for a tough election fought last year.

I offer my condolences and acknowledge that this may not be the best time.

Also, condolences.

You have to understand that these people that are going through probate are going through a tough time so when sending letters to them you have to be very fragile. 90% of the content of the letters that our company sends to probate leads are fully acknowledging the loss of their loved ones and expressing condolences.

You may be able to contact the heirs, write a sincere letter of condolence, mention that you are a local real estate investor and if you can help the family, to please let you know.

Hey @Anthony Alvarez - I'm glad to see you're stepping up and taking this head on, condolences to you and your family. 

First thing I would do (besides condolences) is ask the mother or whoever is there if they would have interest in taking over the lease.

I aggregate data on deaths from a number of "condolence" sites, then bounce the data down to the county auditor.
