Estate with no owner

Found an empty property. Sent mailers. Brother of registered owner calls and says the owner has been deceased for 5 yrs. He states that the daughter was being billed for the taxes and had some trouble getting her name removed from the estate so she is no longer billed. The brother says he does not want the property either. The county clerk seems to think no one handled the estate after the owner passed. Someone is paying the taxes. The sheriff, auditor, and treasurer can not tell who is paying but confirm that the deceased still owns the property. Waiting on a call back from my attorney. In the mean time, what are some ways i might be able to capture ownership of this property?
