Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

foreclosure purchase

My landlord filed for bankruptcy. I have been renting her house for 3 years. She is surrendering it in the bankruptcy. I want to buy the house before it goes to auction. Do I approach the bank who is on the deed with an offer, or the trustee of bankruptcy?

I will attend the bankruptcy meeting because I was listed as a creditor.
