Property is located in Texas.
Fred put in an offer on a house, cash, as-is. The owner of the house is in the hospital so Fred's realtor has been dealing with the owner's wife. The owner bought out his siblings a while back but now, even though they are paid off, our realtor says the owner needs to find these siblings in order to sign the paperwork.
The problem is that the siblings have either passed away or cannot be located. With the owner in the hospital, his wife is trying to find everyone but obviously her hands are a little full right now.
Is there any way for them to sell the property to Fred with a special kind of deed? (I don't understand why they need the additional signatures if the owner bought out his siblings several years back.)
