> Dear Listmates, if there are two heirs to an intestate estate and the sole asset is real property that is being foreclosed in a trustee's sale, and the estate is in probate, would the filing for bankruptcy of one of the heirs invoke the automatic stay for
the trustee's sale? Thank you. Yours truly, Doug Owens<br class="">
