<prompt> Human: Title says we but with all due respect, I mean my wife. That being said...We live in New Jersey. My wifes childhood years were spent in California before she moved east in her 20s. My wifes mother passed away in 2005, but had a surviving spouse who my wife never kept in contact with he wasnt a pleasant person from what Ive heard. We learned yesterday that sometime over the last 12 years hes also passed away. My wife also had a half brother who passed away a few years ago. So out of the blue yesterday we received a call yesterday from a gentleman in California who apparently owns a property preservation company. The whole reason this supposedly came to light is because he started to notice that there appears to be squatters living in this overgrown, dliapidated property and he became curious about it, so he started to research who the owner was. The owner of record to this day is still my wifes deceased mother. At the time of her mothers passing, her spouse was still actively residing in the house and due to the lack of contact, we had no clue he had even died. My wife at this point is the next of kin, which from everyones understanding would give her legal rights to the property.The man we spoke to is interested in purchasing the property and said he will draw up an offer over the next few days. He said he is willing to pay for everything involved, including the probate attorney and any other fees, etc.With a little research, in a rehabbed condition the house would be worth probably in the neighborhood of 160-200k. No one has been inside the house at this point, but just based on the pictures theyve sent us on the outside, I can only imagine its going to need a ton of work both inside and outside. The roof alone you can tell needs a complete re-do. My wife and I have already talked about feeling lucky to get an offer anywhere near 50k for it, and even that might be higher than we expect, considering that anyone going in there, after renovations, is going to have to make a profit somewhere along the lines.This kind of came out of nowhere, and any advice as to what to be aware of or tips of what to look out for would be helpful. My wife has already expressed her interest in getting rid of the house as soon as possible. We have our lives here on the east coast and we dont really wantneed another headache at this time in our lives. We dont have the ability to deal with lawyers and courts and evicting squatters and rehabs so the fact that this guy offered to handle all the workfees is nice, and we certainly dont view ourselves as greedy people, but we dont wish to get hosed either.  <response>: Contact your own estate attorney. There are probably some legal issues that need to be worked out that I wouldnt trust it to a lawyer working for someone else
