Buying property from deceased

[William Huston]

I am reaching out for some advice on a property i managed to get some local scoop on in my neighborhood. Recently i have been doing nightly walks to become more active physically and for the past year a property that previously had someone living in it, has looked empty and after talking to the neighbors, i found out that the person who owned it passed away last year in 2017. Also i noticed that the grass gets incredibly high from time to time and appears a county person is coming out and cutting the grass. 

So i thought that this may make a great off market deal, so i looked up the public records and found that the taxes have not been payed for in over a year, then i found that the property is owned by "estate of persons name" deceased.

What is some advice on possibly acquiring this property?
