1. Did the owner who died leave a will?
2. Has probate (called succession in Louisiana) been opened in court?
3. Has a court appointed an executor or administrator (a personal representative)?
4. How many heirs or owners are there now?
5. Does anyone live in the property?
6. Is there a mortgage or are there back taxes?

How we fit in

We work through death certificates, probate and heirs' paperwork to confirm who can sell. We review those papers only to confirm who can sell to us; we don't advise you on them. Our contract has to be signed by every owner, and nothing is binding until a written purchase agreement is signed by every owner and by Star Thing LLC.

If you later share a death certificate or probate papers with us, our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy explains how we handle any health information in them.
