Quick Probate Question.

[Justin Campbell]

Spoke to a colleague of mine who recently lost their father suddenly and has no interest in his property. I mentioned putting in a cash offer on the house with the hopes of wholesaling and they are motivated to do so. The only problem is that I was a little too late. During the conversation she revealed to me that they recently started the probate process and that the bank said it would be a year until anything can be done with the property. My question is, is there any way around that and what can I do in the meantime to either expedite the process or stay connected? Thanks everyone!

This isn't up to the bank, this property should go through probate with an attorney and should take less than a year. Once heirs are identified the property can be sold.
