Yep. Typically one of those late night TV real estate "investors " . Check for consideration ( probably none) and tell them to release it. If appropriate threaten elder abuse etc. </div>

<div style="line-break:after-white-space">
<div>This is a new one for me, and I’d appreciate any practical guidance.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Insolvent estate owns home. Title Report lists a recorded “Affidavit / Memorandum of Purchase and Sale Agreement” recorded roughly two years before the decedent’s death.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Has anyone dealt with a <u>Recorded Memo of Purchase Agreement</u> in a probate/estate administration context?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So somebody got the elderly owners sign a purchase and sales agreement years in advance? Sounds kinda scammy to me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance for any war stories or pointers.</div>
