Now me (sarcasticmuppet):
This occured to me, and I wondered why it had not been explored 
sooner.  There is NO proof that Sirius is even dead!  He/His body 
went through the veil, poof, right out of existence.  We have no 
reason to believe that Dumbledore told Fudge anything about Black, 
and even if he did, how could he prove it?  So the wizard lawyers or 
whoever handles the estate have no reason to give Grimmauld Place to 
anyone, because as far as they know, Sirius is still on the run from 
the law!
