[rock]

I know this isnt artifacts but I need somebody to PM me that knows Wv laws on this type of thing. He had 2 homes and I need to get the info on them and public records is tough to view. Anyone?

Condolences Rock.

Wish I could help bro. Sorry to hear about your loss. I remember you said his state of being was poor. The court house in the town he lived in will probably be your starting line. Sorry Rock.

I agree with NC hunter...I remember when I needed to get information on a house I was selling and I went down to the courthouse to get a plot of the property...they were very helpful and gave me either the info I needed or steered me in the right direction...sorry for your loss... hope you get the information you need.

I'm sorry for your loss Rock. I lost my father last yr, & I know how hard it is. I have found a lot of info on line concerning legal issues. If you look under your state for the local laws you might at least get an idea of where to start.

Sorry for your loss Rock.

My sympathy to you and your family. When my mother passed she didn't have a large estate, and in Oregon the court house wasn't much help because anything they might tell you is legal advice, and the lawyers managed to make a law that giving out legal advice illegal. So what my brother and I did was go to a title insurance company to ask about help with the house. The lady at the title insurance welcomed us with open arms and gave us all the information we needed, and said she was glad to do it, because the lawyers always screwed it up. If we had been forced to an attorney there wouldn't have been much left, but with that help we did the rest of the paperwork without any problems. The key to this is my brother and I got along and we were the only heirs. If a family member makes problems is when the lawyers get the most. In Oregon there is an amount of money that if an estate goes over, then the law says there must be probate, and here come the lawyers again. We were right on the boarder line, and were a bit worried about that, but an accountant friend pointed out that there are no probate cops, so we did it ourselves and everything worked out fine, and taxes on the house etc. were handled by the title company. You will need a number of copies of the death certificate, because they have to be used for insurance etc. This was all over ten years ago, so I don't remember any more that that, and every state has different laws, but the feds are only interested if she had enough money to create a death tax, and I think that's over a million now, but you might want to check on that. And in some places life insurance is taxable. I'm not giving legal advice, just what my brother and I did and it worked for us in Oregon.

Rock, I'm so sorry for your loss. I just spent a nice morning with my father blowing off work and hunting for points on the beach and can't imagine how devastated I would be if I were you right now.

The county register of deeds should have all the info. They went online a few years ago here but before that, I had to go down to the courthouse, where they keep the records, and manually search through the books. Whenever I had to do it there were always a few lawyers assistants or whatever that were there doing the same thing and they showed me how the system worked. It wasn't that hard once I knew what to do. You obviously have his name but it'll speed up your search if you have the years or approximate years that he purchased the property. Best of luck.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I am very sorry to hear that, Rock. Can't help you on the legal side except I've had success googling the county's name and "public records". Many are online. If not online it is much harder to get the info.

My sympathy for you and your family at this sad time.

Did you try the town/city/county register of deeds? They may be of some help to you. Just a thought.

Prayers....
