Deal falling apart cause of title issue. Advice needed.

I found an off market property I have under contract and looking to close on. As I did the title search via the title company, I found out there’s 4 owners on the deed. Which I wasn’t privy of up until then. However, 3 of the owners are fine with signing. But there’s 1 other who the family haven’t seen and believe to may have passed years ago . They don’t have a death certificate but hired an investigator to find him and was not successful.

Title company will not proceed with closing until all owners sign the AOS or go through probate. I want to avoid probate cause I don’t know how long that’ll take and I would like to close asap, as well as the family (due to it being distressed).

Is there any suggestions on how to work around this such as holding that 1 owner portion of the profit in escrow, having the family sign an affidavit of heirs on his behalf? Idk this is my first time purchasing a property so all of this is new to me. Any advice?

I’m trying to close before the year is out. Has anyone came across an issue like this?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
