Owner passed away, properties tied up in court

Good day BP Family.  I have had my eye on a property that is in disrepair and needs a LOT of work, clean out etc.  I had been in conversation with the family prior to the owner passing to let them know I would be interested and they wouldn't have to touch/clean out a thing.  They could leave everything as is.  Right now the property is tied up due to nursing home care for a spouse from a few years ago who was on Medicaid or something to that affect.  Anyone have experience with how that process goes?  Is there a way to approach them with an offer to get release that hold, lien, etc?  We are on year two of the property sitting empty and deteriorating further so was curious what kind of timelines on some of this stuff.  Just wondering if there is still hope for this property or not.

Thanks for any help.
