What started as a vacant house in Joey’s neighborhood quickly turned into a full-blown ownership investigation involving: - A probate opened on the wrong deceased person - An enhanced life estate deed - Multiple marriages and aliases - Missing heirs across multiple states - Family disputes - Dismissed probate actions - Years of confusion over who actually owned the property The attorney involved reportedly told the family they didn’t even know if the situation could ever be fixed. Instead of walking away, Joey dug deeper. In this conversation, Joey walks through exactly how he: - Investigated the ownership chain - Tracked down heirs through public records and skip tracing - Navigated fractured family dynamics - Worked with probate attorneys and title professionals - Structured the acquisition - Evaluated the risk versus reward - And what he would do differently today This episode is a real behind-the-scenes look at orphaned estates, abandoned probate situations, and curative deal-making in the real world. If you’ve ever wanted to understand how experienced operators solve the deals everyone else avoids, this episode is for you.
