A: The answer depends on a number of additional factors. What is your relation to the deceased? Is there a Will? Are there outstanding debts owed by the deceased? Are you a named beneficiary or heir? There is a specific procedure for land sales in the probate process. If, and how you can acquire the house is going to require a deeper look. I suggest you sit down with a probate attorney who practices in the County where the residence is located to go through the details with you.

Best of luck.
