How to acquire a property abandonded by the Estate's Trustee

There is a property near where I live that is currently vacant and in really rough shape.  I researched the owner and discovered he had died and this property was part of his estate.  I read the court documents and discovered that the trustee for the estate received a court judgement to allow her to abandon the property.

I see that the taxes are current and paid by Chase bank.  I cannot find an address or contact info for the trustee because she has a very common name.  

I do not see any mortgages recorded against the property but did find local code enforcement liens.

How would I go about getting my hands on this property if the estate has legally abandoned it? The property is located in Florida.
