How to purchase a property that the state take over?

[Sharon Porter]

I have a question regarding a property that the state took over and is selling. Does any have any experience with that. The family still live in the property and is not responding. What are the pro and con in investing in such property. What is to be expected once I purchase the property? This property is in Western Mass. It is a one two family and a single in back. The man dies and left no will and the state took charge of it because of Masshealth bill.
