Bob: good question. If it’s probate, then of course it’s appropriate. But I am thinking that it never hurts to send a letter to the tax record address indicating interest. It could just say that you are interested in buying the house if it’s for sale. I don’t think that would offend anyone. I’ve never found any that early, only after or during probate, so I’m just voicing my opinion here. Sincerely, Kristine
