How acquire a 1acre lot that has a deceased owner?

[Christopher Leday]

I live in Beaumont, TX. There is a 1 acre lot next to one of my investment properties. I have my lawn guy mow and maintain the 1acre lot about every 2 weeks so it does not bring down the appeal of my property. After doing some research to acquire the property... I find out that the owner of the property is deceased. What are my options on acquiring this property that I’m constantly having to maintain?
