Our neighbor passed away 3 years ago and the house was left to her grandson. He has only been over 1-3 times and none in the last 2 years. He will not return our calls and has done nothing with the property. We have kept the lawn and shrubs trimmed as well as the papers/garbage off the property for the last three years. When contacting our local township she suggested we file a mechanics lien. We are not sure how to go about this so we don't run into trouble.
We would be intrested in purchasing the property (it is paid off) only back taxes are owed, but since we cannot get a hold of him it makes things difficult.
