You gonna sell that one too? More fix up work I guess no matter which way you go.
This will be our next winter project. We will need to fly down, once we know what is going to happen with the family and do a partial clean out, still fighting rats. Per the neighbor papers being eaten by them. We do have a good exterminator, he goes every few days and collects the traps. We are under contract he works until they are gone. The neighbor lets him in.
Our lawyer here, will type, said to change the locks, allow nobody in without official court documents. The brother wants to just send us a letter saying we can find things to send to him. But the estranged daughter has the "official" rights to her stuff if there is no will. We could be sued if we do not protect her items. We do have the choice to put them in storage, then attempt to make the estate pay for the storage. We don't need the house empty until next fall, so we will let most just sit. We will do a fly down trip, clean out trash, and fly home. With tons of picture documentation.
The estate is liable for the rent until her stuff is gone. She does have some investments, rent is auto pay from the bank, no clue how long the funds will last. When we saw her in November we asked if there was a will, who to contact if something happened to her. She said she would get us the info. We kept asking for it, she never supplied it to us. My impression was there is a will, but her mind was drifting then, so not sure what is real.
If someone wants to go through her stuff we will need to fly down and meet up with them.
This is a mess for us, sad for her.
This was my hubbies parents house. He bought it from the two brothers the parents willed it to.
We had it rehabbed right before she moved in, but now will need to do a redo. Cabinets broken, shelves bent due to weight of food stored. So another rehab late this year, then up for sale, most likely. If we sale we will need to store our tv's furniture etc somewhere or just get rid of.
