If she’s appointed executor in NY, but the property is in CT, then she’ll have to do another proceeding in CT called ancillary probate.

I would go the other direction and require part of the closing proceeds to be held in escrow for some amount of time - maybe up to 3 days - to ensure the house was vacant and you had an opportunity to inspect and confirm and sign off.

Please take my advice with a grain of salt and be sure to seek counsel from and attorney or Public Adjuster before proceeding with any legal action.

You can bid for the property at the sale or wait for another investor to buy it and you would be paid back from the proceeds.

For that, you really need to consult with your broker on how he/she wants you to proceed, as it's ultimately his/her a** on the line.If you like, we can discuss this more at the Dayton Real Estate Networking Meetup 2/8/2016 next week.

How do I proceed with this situation?

If the title to all or any part of the Property is unmarketable, or is subject to liens, encumbrances, easements, conditions, restrictions or encroachments other than those excepted in the preceding sentence, Seller will be responsible for remedying or removing the title defect or at its election may choose not to cure the title defect in which case the Buyer may waive the title defect and proceed to Closing or may terminate this Agreement in which case any Earnest Money deposit and/or any other funds held in escrow by the Closing Agent shall be refunded to the Buyer.4.

If you purchase the property outright with IRA funds, rehab it with IRA funds and then sell it at a profit, ALL proceeds from the sale flow back to the IRA.

You have to bash it out and replace the drywall and cement board.
