I found a property that the owner is actually deceased and have been for the last three years and no one knows. City records have him still living in the house. He has a son in the military and his son does not want anything to do with the house because he believes there is some other liens and all this other stuff on the house. I've done research on the property and I've gone to a title company who pulled up all of the information on the property. The only liens that are on the house are the city liens overgrown shrubbery and not taking care of the property along with three years back taxes. Here in St. Louis Missouri the city will take the house after three years of non-paid back taxes mind you the house is free and clear per title company. They have not done it yet and I want to acquire the property before pre-auction. I spoke with the son because I have researched and researched and found the son and he said he don't want anything to do with that property absolutely nothing at all in fact. I spoke with the grandparents and they said that his father didn't claim him growing up so he doesn't want to have anything to do with the property at all and let the city take it. I don’t see any notice of his death. There are currently $3150 in judgments against the owner, all in favor of the City Public Safety-Building Division. There is also a sewer lien for $1360 and at least $5000 in delinquent taxes. There are no mortgages on the property. The property is in a prime location in South City St. Louis. I will pay all of it to acquire this property. I need to know what I can do to make this happen. Title company said to Record an Affidavit of Death listing the son as the sole heir, but he doesn't want anything to do with it. He doesn't want to be affiliated with the property in name or anything else. I need to know what steps to take from here. Please help!!!

It's in St. Louis South City Tower Grove area. No other heirs. The son doesn't want to be involved in any way because his father didn't claim him growing up or something. He won't acknowledge that he's even an heir. The city hasn't touched it as far as taxes. They still have the deceased living there. The neighbors cut the yard for curb appeal. It's a 300k+ ARV. No mortgage. Just liens and 3 years taxes upwards 8k. No one knows its unclaimed or the guy is dead. No other children or wife.

 It had all the details. I want to buy a property but the owner is deceased over 3 years and the heir doesn't want to claim the property or have anything to do with it. Title has checked for mortgage and liens. Only liens which I'm willing to pay including back taxes. The city will take the property soon. They don't know the owner is deceased.
