A Walk on the Wild Side of Estates and Probate

All real estate attorneys know the rules of estates and probate when things run their normal course. When a homeowner dies and the family of the deceased wants to sell the home, the family hires an attorney to handle the sale. The attorney knows that he or she has two basic options: Probate the estate or obtain deeds from all the heirs and legatees of the decedent.

But what if things don’t work out according to plan?  What if there is an unforeseen problem, such as a missing heir? What if the attorney must fall back on “Plan B?”
