probate with pending tax auction

[Shanequa J.]

I was following up on a lead from 2016. The owner died and his wife is handling the probate process. She wants to sell. The house has back taxes and will be auctioned off most likely before the year is over. I can pay the back taxes to stop the auction, but how do I protect myself since the house is in probate? I don't want to pay then find out that I have no recourse.
