Huh? the property you received from an Estate is not saleable? A tax certificate is usually issued to the purchaser of the taxes when they are not paid. I believe it is 5 years after that that a tax deed may be applied for by the owner. The property does not escheat to the State, it is sold by the certificate holder to pay the back taxes. if you need more detailed information, you should seek out a real estate attorney with all your paperwork.
