Hi, Im new to Real Estate and have questions

[Regis Luckett]

Hi, I am a little new to Real Estate and I just have a question. Sadly my neighbor died 2 years ago and her house has been sitting next to ours abandoned for 2 years now. I have talked to my neighbors child on buying the house but they stated that there was still $80,000 owed on the mortgage and I also know that there are taxes still owed from 2019 that was not paid (from what I can see in the county records). I was wondering whats the next step to trying to get this house without obtaining the full $80,000 mortgage that was left behind on it, if there is any.
