D4D Probate Lead Title Issue

[Jason Rogers]

Any ideas on how I can get this driving for dollars lead nailed down? Owner is deceased. I contacted the wife and it’s a bit of a mess. It was his mother’s house and she quit claimed it to him prior to her passing. Now that he has passed, his will had stated that it was to go to his brother. However, the probate court would not accept the will because he used a signature stamp instead of doing something as simple as making an x with a pen. So it remains in his name and they can’t do anything with it. The wife has been advised by her attorney to not pay the property taxes and let the county foreclose on the property. It seems like she thinks that she can just go pick it up at the tax auction for pennies on the dollar. I’ve been to the tax auctions and she can’t. I am going today to try and speak with the brother. Any suggestions? My current thought is could I possibly get both of them to sell it to me?? Do you think it’s even worth chasing, or am I leaning my ladder against the wrong building?? Thanks in advance for any input.

@Jason Rogers Okay, so probate was opened....so What did happen, what was the judge’s decision?  You need to read the actual probate file.....if the brother’s deed was not recognized, and the wife didn’t get it, then what happened?  You need to know.
