“Questions!”

Since many of you have just signed up to start receiving my weekly messages on Probate Real Estate, I thought I would mention two issues that are frequently asked of me.

Number one is where to mail your letters.

As I describe in my system, I have come up with four simple steps that you need follow.

• Find the name of the deceased
• Determine if they owned real property
• Locate the name and address of the Personal Representative
• Mail the letter I give you in my course to the PR

As many of you know, sometimes you cannot locate the address of the PR, just the address of the attorney handling the filing.

Here’s my suggestion. Mail to the PR at the deceased address. My thinking is the PR will either be having the mail forwarded or will be personally picking it up at the deceased’s home. Either way, mission accomplished. The PR gets the letter.

The second question concerns existing liens against the property. From the questions I get, some of you are concerned that it will be your responsibility to pay them.

Not true!

Liens do not pass with title.

So any liens that exist….by the way a mortgage is a lien, must be paid by the seller at closing.

You as the buyer do not have any responsibility to pay any liens so the house you purchase will be free of any monetary liens.

Also, I might mention one of the advantages of working in Probate is that most of the houses you will find are free and clear. The person who owned it often times had lived there for quite some time and consequently had paid off their mortgage.

Nice, huh?

And lastly, there are no “secret methods” for finding Probate notices before anyone else finds out about them. If someone tells you there is, I would be very suspicious about any information or system they are trying to sell you.

As most of you know, I send out messages almost every week and if I discovered an update to my system, you would be the first to know.

Hope all of you are enjoying your summer. We’ve been having almost idyllic weather here in Portland. Mid 80’s to mid-90’s almost every day with less than 40% humidity.

However, our local weather guesser says 100+ next week.

We’ll see!
