Getting in contact with property owner

[Rick Jones]

While driving through town I spotted a property that is in a serious state of disrepair.  I would like to contact the owner an inquire about it but there is some difficult.

Tax records list a husband a wife that have thier addresses listed as the property, (it is obviously unoccupied now).  I found an obituary for the husband who was 86 a few years ago.  There is a sale of the house 6 months later.  I am guessing he passed away and it fell into disrepair.

My issue is that the public records have not updated if it has infact been sold.

Any ideas on how to contact the owners?

Thanks

Rick
