ᐅ Locating homeowners…. Any more ideas?

In December, we discovered a vacant house in the neighboring village. According to a neighbor, the owner was suddenly admitted to a care home and now has a legal guardian. There is a disputed acquaintance involved in a northern German city, and the house is supposedly going to be sold through a real estate agent.

I have contacted all the agents working in this area, but without any success. I also asked other neighbors and villagers, but they didn’t have any additional information. The mail carrier is still delivering letters to the house’s mailing address, and there is no forwarding order. After that, I sent a letter in the hope that the guardian still checks the mailbox regularly. Finally, I wrote to the guardianship court, but they are either unable or not permitted to help me. My ideas are running out... this is really frustrating 🙄

I could try calling nearby care homes, but due to privacy regulations, they probably can’t share any information with me either...

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Unfortunately, I can’t send you a message because I haven’t posted enough yet.

That’s why I say “email,” not private message. Just use my same username here, but at gmx (de).

11ant, why don’t you add your phone number to your avatar as well?

I do, on XING. But not here, where I’m more private. Email has to be enough.

Well, even those who take pictures of tomatoes sometimes deal in lemons ;-)

I quickly skimmed through the thread.
We experienced the opposite situation. My father-in-law was hospitalized, and it soon became clear that the end was near.
From that point on, our phone didn’t stop ringing. Several people pressured us to sell the house, even though my father-in-law was still alive.
That wasn’t really what you want to hear at such a time and was partly quite disrespectful.
Eventually, we became so annoyed that we were certain if we ever sold the house, it definitely wouldn’t be to those people.

Yes, we have had similar experiences. My family owns two plots of land in a good location. My grandmother passed away rather unexpectedly. We were all there then. I informed some of the neighbors. Almost immediately, I was asked if we already knew what would happen with the plots. I found that very disrespectful, and I was completely taken aback, as we hadn’t thought about any of it at all. Similar reactions came from other parties as well, the most inappropriate being the expression of interest from her general practitioner 😡.

We decided to keep the plots, but we definitely would not sell to those specific people...

Quick update: The mailbox hasn’t been emptied yet and nothing else has happened.
It is still registered at the address.
Well...
