Re: Property Contracts

Teh buyer probably has just gotten a tenancy in common with the wife, unless the deed was not recorded before teh man died, in which case the buyer may have a claim against the estate for the money paid for the worthless deed. Many more facts need to be known before a more certain answer can be given

Good Luck
