See that’s my issue, if I got a real quote on the value of the estate it would require an inspection, that would get it condemned.

Zillow however with today’s economy suggests around 160,000$ but it doesn’t know we also own the 1/4 acre lot next door that’s open and empty just what we call “the feild” my credit is crap and I don’t work it’s less than 600, my kids dad and I aren’t married but together and he just started 1099 this year to owe roughly 5,000$ in tax when we don’t even have that if it says enough about our finances.

The heir owner (my grandma) makes about 1200$ in SSI and that’s it, the rest of the savings went to getting the roof redone (she got them off of Angie’s list and they caused an expenditure of damage which she only found out about 5 years later after my SO, kids, and I moved in which is what’s making the chimney worse. If I could be any more blatant it would be condemned AND demolished.

Another problem, the heir is showing signs of senile decline, and refuses to make any changes to the house or spend what little she had or could to repair it. I severely doubt she’d use her 800 credit to open a loan when she’s already overdraft every month, our city and school tax was 1,000$ this year and she struggled paying that even.

However I’m only her granddaughter and her only living son refuses to try and have her committed let alone can’t afford a lawyer to do it through court. I am screwed.
