So, what happens when somebody dies.............

[Skyskier]

and there is NO surviving family ? I just got a call our landlord, that we've been renting our shop from for the past 28 years, was found dead today.
We had been "talking" about buying the building for the past 27 years. The guy was OLD 27 years ago, and always kept telling us we'd be the 1st to know when he was ready to sell the place. As far as we know he had no family left. I've been telling Mrs. Skyskier, WHEN the day comes, we're gonna have 30 days to pack up 28 years accumalation of merchandise, machinery, stock & fixtures.
We never had a "lease" for all the 28 years, just a handshake agreement and in all the 28 years he DID raise our rent 1 time 3 years ago from $850 a month up to $1,000, again, nothing in writing, just the handshake "deal"
$1,000 a month for the building we have is REDICULOUSY LOW, it SHOULD be going for upwards of $4k a month.

If there is no will or trust, it goes to the State.

The estate goes through probate, then auction the remaining assets, everyone gets their cut, then the heirs (if any) get the remainder.

Do you pay the taxes on your building? I would contact an estate attorney for some advice.

 

[Havexico]

next of kin... but not sure what they do if that cant be established..

Just a flat rent,................NO triple net or ANY of that BS

As HM said, depends if there was a will or trust. PM his name and I can do a quick looksy to see how title is held on his properties (name/address please).

Forgery?

I've been teasing Mrs. Skyskier for years, telling her I think the old guy was "sweet" on her He'd come in the shop like clockwork on the 5th to collect the rent. IF Marilyn wasn't there, he'd say, "I'll come back",.............I'd tell him, "I can write you a check",........always the same, "I'll come back.

MAYBE he left a will an left her the place :hmm

Weeeeeeeeelll maybe you need to look for will, legitimately.

Stranger things have happened. Maybe talk to an attorney and say he hinted around at a will and would you be able to find out about it?

He moved the property into a trust - so a will should surface shortly.

Look at that....people helping people.

I hope it works out for you.. Quadrupling your rent doesn't sound good at all..

Heck, if it gets left to him, the taxes may be higher than the rent...

Well shit.. What happened to the building?

 

[Skyskier]

the Jewler we shared the shop with ended up buying the building, we were on the fence about going in on it, we had been there for 33 years an at our age, just couldn't see taking on that kinda finacial load, ....turns out we made the right decision, the picture framing business along with the photo restoration just took a huge dump.......people started buying "ready framed art" from like costco, target etc., I call it "space fillers", all from china !........shit, we couldn't buy the moulding to build the frames for what the pieces retailed for with the frame, print glass & matts, same with the photo restoration, so many "online" places that farmed it out to overseas sweat shops, and photoshop itself,..................we had a GREAT run !
