How could I assume a property that has tax liens if the owner is dead and there are no other living relatives?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
Purchase the taxes at the tax sale and follow the statutory procedure to become the owner. Otherwise you would have to track down distant relatives and get them to open a probate so you could purchase the property out of probate.
