Re: quit claim deed & probate
You do not need to find all the siblings to open up a probate estate and sell this house. There may be some problems distributing the money you recieve, but those problems can be resolved later. If the house can be sold for more than the mortgage why would you give that money to a bank? Feel free to send me an e-mail if you have any more questions.
