What is the name of your state?
Montana
My 100 year old grandmother passed away a few weeks ago. She out lived her husband and two children. The only remaining heirs are grandchildren. One grandchild was legally adopted as a child, so he is technically the only "heir-apparent". There was a will, but nobody seems to have a copy of it, or know where to find it. Her estate is less than $50,000, and consists of only a house with contents. We have someone who is interested in buying the house, but since the "heir-apparent" is not interested in taking care of the details, how can I help to facilitate the buyer?
This is further complicated by the fact that the "heir-apparent" is in California in the army, and the other grandchildren live in Washington.
What if nobody does anything? Does the court step in? Can the buyer petition the court?
