Risky Tax Sale

[William Kyle Walker]

Hey BPers

I came across a property on an upcoming tax sale that is a bit complicated. The property was owned by a criminal that is now in jail, so she is no longer able to pay her taxes. After further investigation I found out that the government has seized her property. This happened in the last two months and the taxes have still not been paid. I am wondering what would happen if I bought it. I spoke with an attorney and he didn't know of anyone with this niche specific knowledge. Legally would the tax sale supper seed any judgments against the property? What normally happens after the government seizes a property, how do they sell it? The property is in California and I think the federal government seized it, if that helps.

Thanks for reading and any input.
