What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pa
Im trying to buy a home that was owned by 4 people, as tenants in common. All family. 2 have passed and their portion was never probated. No wills involved. Everyone is on board with selling. Im buying for only $4500. One of the deceased has 4 heirs, the other had none except siblings, who are already on title. 3 of the 4 on title now lived in Buffalo NY, the other lived in the home. Hes one that has passed. So there are 2 survivors on the deed living in NY, and all heirs live out of town in different states except one, who is in Buffalo as well. I really don't know where to start with this one. Any advice? Need more information? I was hoping I could use Pa's small estate probate but from what I can tell because its real property I cant? I also heard that if everyone is on board theres something like a family memorandum or something that they can sign off on? Since this is such a small estate I was hoping to not go through full probate and that we can do something easy and quick.
