Property being forced to be sold by courts...

[Charlie Nghiem]

I have a property that is an hour away and is selling $28K under tax assessed value. I believe it was built in 1970, I am going to assume it needs a lot of repairs. The owner says he received the property through his dad's estate but the attorneys didn't follow up on the purchase agreement with the other heirs and now one of the heirs has requested the courts to sell the property. He/she wants to see the property quickly to avoid the commission by a realtor. 

I am not too familiar with what I can do. Can I purchase this directly from one person or do I have to consult the attorney?
