Well beyond Scranton.

Two-family houses, rentals and homes that haven't been updated in decades are all welcome, and the closing date is yours to pick, 7 days out at the earliest.

The estate's personal representative, once appointed. Under Pennsylvania law the house passes at death to the heirs or the people named in the will, but subject to the powers of the executor or administrator, who gets letters from the Lackawanna County Register of Wills in Scranton when the parent lived in the county. With no mortgage to pay off, more of the price goes to the estate after taxes, debts and closing costs.

The leases stay in force: under Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act, the buyer takes on your rights and duties as landlord. The Act caps security deposits at two months' rent in a lease's first year and one month's rent after that, but it doesn't spell out how deposits move in a sale, so the agreement should say whether they're transferred or credited at settlement. Tell your tenants who holds their deposits.

In stages. Unpaid taxes go to the county's Tax Claim Bureau by January 31 of the following year and start accruing interest at 9% a year on February 1. After two years of delinquency, the house can be offered at the September upset sale; if it doesn't sell, the bureau can sell it privately at a price it and the taxing districts approve, and then at a spring judicial sale.
