Preserving, Protecting & Recovering Family Assets Nationwide
We buy properties with clouded titles and broken chains of title—wherever they are and whatever the cause. From inherited homes and missing heirs to unresolved liens and gaps in ownership, we do the hard work to clear the way and pay you for what’s rightfully yours.
What We Do
Heir Abstract buys properties burdened by clouded titles and broken chains of ownership—the kind most buyers walk away from. Missing heirs, unprobated estates, old liens, boundary disputes, tax issues, or paperwork that was never recorded correctly: whatever the reason your title isn’t clean, we can help.
Our team of researchers, genealogists, and title specialists do the hard work to trace ownership, resolve the issues, and make you a fair offer—so you can turn a stuck, unsellable property into cash without the headache.

Why Choose Heir Abstract
Every property has its own story, and a clouded title doesn’t have to be a dead end. Whether you’ve inherited a home you can’t sell, discovered a break in the chain of title, or been told the paperwork is too tangled to fix, we’ll untangle it, make you a fair offer, and handle everything from start to finish.
Serving Families Nationwide
Wherever the property sits, we’re ready to help—across all 50 states.
Our Process
Tell us about the property. We pull title records, deeds, and estate documents to trace the chain of ownership and pinpoint exactly what’s clouding the title—no cost or commitment to you.
Tell Us About the Property
Our team does the heavy lifting—locating missing heirs, resolving liens, handling probate and legal filings, and correcting the record. We keep you updated in plain language every step of the way.
We Clear the Title
Once the title is clear, we close on your terms and pay you a fair price—no repairs, no showings, no agent commissions. You walk away with cash for a property that was stuck, and we take it from there.
We Buy Your Property
Our Mission
Our mission is to unlock the value trapped in properties with clouded titles—homes and land that families can’t sell because of a break somewhere in the chain of ownership. Through honest offers, thorough research, and a team that handles the hard parts, we turn stuck property into a fresh start.
Our Team
Mike Mankowski
Mike Mankowski is a New Jersey native who now lives and operates out of Florida, buying deals nationwide. He’s been acquiring off-market property since 2018 — no asset class off the table, no title condition too messy.
Along the way he kept hitting the same wall: the owner had died, the heirs were scattered, the deed was wrong, or six people owned fractions of a property and none of them knew it. Most investors pass on those files. Mike learned to read them — and built a business paying families up front for property stuck behind probate, missing heirs, and clouded title, then doing the curative work himself after closing.
Founder
Jay Tubog
Jay runs the day-to-day. He’s the one keeping deals moving between the research desk and the closing table — coordinating documents, tracking down what’s needed to close, scheduling notaries and closings, and making sure every family we work with knows where things stand.
Selling an inherited interest can feel like a black box. Jay’s job is to make sure it never does. If you’re working with us, you’ll hear from him regularly, in plain language, whether there’s news or not.

Research & Underwriting Marwan Moussa
Mrwan is our in-house researcher, and he’s the reason we can make offers other buyers can’t.
Before we ever quote a number, Mrwan reconstructs the property’s history from the ground up — genealogy and family records to identify every living heir, land records, deeds, probate filings, liens, and judgments to map the chain of title exactly as it stands. He pinpoints every defect that would have to be cured to convey clean title, prices what curing it will actually cost and how long it will take, and builds the offer from there. That’s what allows us to buy properties in whatever condition the title is in, and still pay a fair, honest number for it.
