Buying a house "as is"

[Loganwayne]

Some family is buying a house as Is. The former owner is in a nursing home and his daughter is in control of his estate. Cleaning up all the old owners stuff no problem. The question is there are two cars on the property both haven't been moved since he was put in a home. The daughter is in Wyoming. So what happens to these cars? Do they go with the house?

Who has power of attorney over the owner and/or the estate?
Better start there.

I am assuming the daughter since she is selling the house and is who the Realtors and everyone else is dealing with.

Initial agreement that you get to keep the cars and written letter from power of attorney during closing.

Or

Goes both ways. Agreement on your part to be presented at closing stating something like 30 or 60 days to remove cars from property or they become yours.

Maybe I'm old school. If the property is for sale and you buy it, you get what's on the property. Poison ivy, emeralds, dead hooker corpses, and even cars. Just make sure you address it in writing at closing. Don't forget the Vin # in the transaction.

Over and done with. Nobody will hesitate I bet.

I think our question to you is......what kind of cars are they?!

4 door Lexus SUV and a ford ranger probably around the last year they were made with 50,000 miles on it

What a pile. Rangers are garbage. Give it away to @Jody Treadway . He'll wheel it

Sounds like a Bro-Lite entry to me.

I'll turn the old beater ranger that I drive into a bro lite if I end up with the newer one
