this has come up now- I have a client whose husband owned some undeveloped (and
not very developable) real estate in Buffalo. It would cost my client more to
open an ancillary probate in New York than the plots are worth. Additionally, it
would be difficult and expensive to sell the lots, as they are not contiguous,
and NY law requires an attorney to be involved in any closing of a sale. By the
time my client paid for the probate, and for a lawyer to sell each lot
separately…well, you get the idea.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tentative plan is to allow NY State to foreclose for back taxes (small
amounts, but eventually the lots will be sold). Thoughts?<BR>

client couldn’t even donate a piece of dirt in OK to charity (no one wanted

close with the exception of a patch of dirt in Texas that none of the heirs
want (no ancillary probate proceedings have been initiated in Texas

burden to the heirs, and there has been no offers to purchase on the market.
