Vacant House / Deceased Owner / Delinquent Taxes Question

Hi BP, 

I have a question and hope someone can provide some further insight and possible suggestions. In researching my returned mail addresses from vacant houses, I found that the owner of one house is deceased and still owes two years worth of property taxes. The title is still in her name. I located the daughter (next of kin) and she wants nothing to do with the property. I also called down to the county probate office to see whether I could find the attorney or any other executors to the will, and they don't have a file or cause number under her name. The house is boarded up and in terrible shape. Any possible recommendations on a next step in trying to get this property?
