Probate / Tax Auction Deal

[Gabriel Ortiz]

Hi BP Community,

I need help with a lead I'm currently working on. Any advice or guidance will be appreciated. 

Details:

• Owner (mother) on title is deceased.
• Daughter wants to save the property from selling at tax auction.
• $52k default taxes owed. Auction date: 11/20/19
• $250k ARV
• No petition for Probate has begun, daughter has no money to pay for anything.
• Property located in California - San Joaquin County.
• Tax Collector mentioned that if assessee is deceased, the property may not be sold at auction. Public Administrator will then investigate whether a Probate has begun.

Does anyone here have any experience with such cases? 

My intent will be to wholesale it to one of my flippers.

Thanks in advance!
