<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">I am probating an estate holding real property. Two nuisance notices & orders stating that the owner (deceased) failed to timely abate the nuisance. Unfortunately, the property has been occupied by a tenant for
many years and the tenant is responsible for causing the issues constituting the nuisance to arise. Has anyone had experience with this issue, in particular, how it impacts any sale of the real property?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
