I posted in r/FirstTimeHomeBuyer that we closed. Our house was unoccupied and close got delayed, so the seller gave us early occupancy to start moving, since my landlord plans to occupy my current house.
And then it went sideways. We aren't done with close, but its going to eventually go through.
Im not posting this as a rant, or complaint. But more so as a reminder to those reading these subs that each person goes through a different process and some take time.
We were supposed to close 3/2. The day before close title calls and says they need a certified POA from the seller's daughter and the original doctors letter. The homeowner is 83 and her daughter is selling the house to pay for her care. No sweat. Then title calls and says they've found a deed in trust on the house from 1993. The bank on it no longer exists. Great.
This was the initial delay.
Seller finds the paperwork for the deed in trust, and provides title all the documents. We are now going to close 3/6
3/5 the seller dies. Not the daughter, but the 83 year old woman.
From here out i will refer to the daughter as the seller.
So now we start a whole new process. We need the seller o record a lack of probate affidavit. We need the sellers sister to sign off on the sale, she is in Arizona. We need death certificates for the sellers mother and for her deceased brother to prove he's dead and can't make claim on the house. Title says we will be able to close wednesday now at the earliest, friday at the latest.
But I can assure you this has been a whirlwind of emotions.
