In my case, I know the owner had a reverse mortgage and she passed away. Property records still show her as the owner.

The bank immediately turned off the water, gas and electric so there is no temperature control in the house so I assume it is all going to pot. The lawn is being mowed but since there is no water there is no irrigation and the grass is dying.

It makes it very hard to figure out who to call.

Perhaps you could look up the owner in the county Probate Court records online at the link below, to find out more. Choose "Online Court Records" under Probate Resources on the right side....then agree to the public access requirements, and then search the owner's name. There is a "Case Type" box to choose Probate in.....

Probate - Lake County Clerk of Circuit & County Courts
