away from home he went to harry's father's place. Then when he was old
enugf, he got a place of his own. As number twelve grimold place was
the place he ran away from, what do you think happened to blacks own
place?
Did harry get it with the rest of blacks things?

Probably rented it, or as resold after his arrest. Espeically if he
had a mortgage on it.

His stuff might have been sold at auction. Perhaps to make
restitution for what the DE's did, since everybody believed him to be
one.

Sorry I was gone for so long. See other post for why.
As to this question, I was woundering what england or scotland would do with
the house of a convicted murderer? This isn't always the anser for JKR's
books, but it is a warped mirror of muggle life. So I thought such a thing
would give us a clue.

This may have been ansered already. As I am trying to catch up. But in book
five black told harry that his uncle left him some money when he died. Black
started to say something else but never finished. It was right around where
black was shoowing Harry the tapestery.

"You ran away from home?"
"When I was about sixteen," said Sirius. "I'd had enough."
"Where did you go?" asked Harry, staring at him.
"Your dad's place," said Sirius. "Your grandparents were really good
about it; they sort of adopted me as a second son. Yeah, I camped out
at your dad's during the school holidays, and then when I was seventeen
I got a place of my own, my Uncle Alphard had left me a decent
bit of gold - he's been wiped off here too, that's probably why -
anyway, after that I looked after myself. I was always welcome at Mr.
and Mrs. Potter's for Sunday lunch, though."
"But . . . why did you . . . ?"
"Leave?" Sirius smiled bitterly and ran a hand through his long, unkempt
hair. "Because I hated the whole lot of them: my parents, with
their pure-blood mania, convinced that to be a Black made you practically
royal . . . my idiot brother, soft enough to believe them . . .
that's him."

That is the bit I meant. It shows that Black had a place that wasn't number
twelve. I think it might even mean that James had another place besides his
parents place.
Here when a person is locked up, people often sue them for any money they have.
Blacks gold wasn't taken as it went to harry later. However, what is the normal
thing to happen to the houses of murderer's in scotland and england?

Unless the VALUE of the house was needed to pay a fine or restitution -
even a convicted murderer has the right to private property. While it is
unlikely many of them can afford to keep a house and pay taxes and
upkeep while in jail - some can and do so. Obviously - Sirius has the
ability with the money of the family inheritance.
In the USA - on a principal residence - the government can file a lien
against it - but actually cannot execute its lien until the house is
sold - or the person dies. Remembering that the actual address of the
murderer is their home - not the prison they are in - it can cause open
up other legal issues as well.
