Need help on this probate deal!!!
a homeowner called me from a yellow letter I sent out. He lives in California and the house is currently in probate. The court has ordered the house to be auctioned off at the end of this month, but he would rather sell it to me at the price we agreed upon, which by the way is an unbelievable price!!! He gave me the contact info for the attorney handling the case, but this attorney won't pick up the phone! How do I stop this auction process??? This deal is too good to lose! I need HELP

Contact an attorney, to file an objection to the sale. A court-ordered sale is often the result of inaction, or tardy action, by the executor/PR. Your attorney may be able to get the court to honor the heir's request to sell it to you directly. Absent creditor claims in excess of your offering price, you should be successful.
