Frequently Asked Questions

I look at inherited property situations where a sale is blocked by title problems, probate delays, missing heirs, partial ownership, unpaid taxes, liens, old mortgages, family disagreement, or unclear authority to sign.

Sometimes. A deceased owner still showing on the deed, tax bill, or title records can block a normal sale. The facts matter, including the deed, probate status, family situation, title records, and who has authority to act.

Sometimes. If probate was never opened, the property may still be stuck in the deceased owner’s name. The next step depends on the state, the deed, the family, the title records, and whether anyone has authority to act.

I look at situations where most of the family wants to move forward, but one heir, sibling, or partial owner will not sign, will not respond, or is making the sale difficult.

Sometimes. If you own or may own a partial interest in inherited property, I may be willing to look at whether your ownership interest can be sold separately. The facts matter, including the deed, probate status, title records, and whether your interest can be confirmed.

Sometimes. Back taxes can block or pressure a sale, but they do not always make a sale impossible. The facts matter, including how much is owed, whether there is tax sale pressure, who owns the property, and whether the people with authority are willing to sell.

Sometimes. Missing heirs can block a normal sale if their signature, consent, or ownership interest is needed. The facts matter, including the deed, probate status, title records, and whether the missing person actually has an ownership interest.

A stopped closing usually means the title company found a problem that prevents a normal insured closing. The issue may involve probate, missing heirs, unclear ownership, old liens, unreleased mortgages, missing signatures, or a deceased owner still showing in the records.

Sometimes. Liens, old mortgages, judgments, unpaid taxes, and title defects can block or complicate a sale, but they do not always make a sale impossible. The facts matter, including what type of claim exists and whether there is enough value in the property.

No. I am not a law firm, not a probate attorney, not a title company, and not a government agency. I am an independent real estate buyer/operator with LandHat LLC. If legal or title work is needed, that is handled separately by the appropriate professionals.

No. You are contacting Matt directly. This is not a national franchise, call center, sales floor, or generic home-buying company.

Leave the property address, the owner’s name, your connection to the property, and what is blocking the sale. If a title company, buyer, Realtor, attorney, county office, or family member already found a problem, mention that too.

No. I do not guarantee every situation can be solved or purchased. I look at the facts, the ownership problem, the title problem, the tax or lien pressure, and whether there is a practical sale path.

If I answer, I will ask for the property address, the owner’s name, your connection to the property, and what is blocking the sale. If the situation may fit what I do, the next step is more fact-gathering and written paperwork if the facts and numbers make sense.
