Buying a separately deeded garage with back taxes owed

[Jeffrey Cervi]

We purchased a townhouse/condo unit last year from an estate. The deceased gained possession of the unit through foreclosure. The detached garage that was originally assigned to the unit is separately deeded, and was not included in the foreclosure process. Apparently, the original owner has not paid taxes on the garage for the last three years. The township has hired an attorney to try and collect the back taxes. Not sure who has physical possession of the garage. May have been commandeered by one of the other tenants or the HOA.

I am very interested in paying the back taxes and gaining possession of the garage. I would like to gain possession of this garage before it goes on the market through sheriff sale. Can this be achieved and if so, how?
