Generally, when a town takes property for non-payment of property taxes, the title must be cleared by a court decree barring the former owners from any rights of redemption. In Massachusetts we look for a Land Court decree and it is the general practice for towns to obtain that decree before selling the parcel to a new owner. You may try to obtain a quitclaim deed from the prior owner for a nominal sum if there was no court decree. The laws vary from state to state. You would need to research the practice in your state by consulting with a local attorney.

You bought a house without a girlfriend. How can you remove her name off the deed without her signature?

You can't. The only way to remove her from the property is to buy her interest. She must execute a deed conveying her interest to you.
