Inherited back taxes on property w/ a home on it? - Posted by Chase

I’m confused, you never say that you now OWN the lot. Do you own it? If you own it who’s the person living there? If that person owns it, it’s of no consequence to you, you’re NOT responsible for your grandfather’s or father’s debts. If you’re the executor of the estate the ESTATE is responsible for them.

My grandfather purchased a lot. My father has passed. I receive a call from a collection agency about collecting back taxes. They gave me the lot reference number. I looked it up online via appraisal district records and its there. The land has a residence on it. The person living there is not willing to talk. The collection agency is legitimate. What are my options?
