Property - 3/1 house in California, 100% equity. As-is value 600k with 100k in tax delinquency. Equity - 500k net equity after taxes. Title - Still in father’s name. He passed in 2019. Wife predeceased him. Open probate for 3 years, not yet finalized. Interest - 4 heirs total. 3 heirs from the first mother are aligned and working the probate together. The 4th heir is from another mother and has been completely cut out of the process. She isn't mentioned in the probate docket. Threats - I have only been able to reach the 4th heir. She’s open to working with me but needs to prove she’s the biological daughter. The other 3 have been hard to reach. Opportunity - Buy the 4th heir’s interest and step into her place. Negotiate with the 3 or litigate if needed. Questions - #1- Is this a deal you would get into assuming the 3 heirs will fight the 4th heir interest? #2 - What would be a reasonable offer for the 4th heir for the 125k interest (500k/4)?
