Purchased this house in November. Owner had passed away, and son has no knowledge of anything about the house. As spring has sprung, we're finding a lot of dead stuff around the house. This tree clearly has *some* good sections, but others that appear dead. It's hard to tell in these photos. There is one fairly large branch (I circled it), where there is no life on it at all. YOu'll have to zoom in.
The question. Should I mark the dead limbs and cut in the fall or is it ok to do now, or should I give it a few more seasons to see if something appears?

You can cut dead branches anytime.
Live branches for structure/health is best done during dormancy, so fall/winter.
Yes. Wait for the hard prune in early spring. Cutting dead branches now is ok. GL
Prune out the dead any time.
