More details to this question:
I am the only child. Before my Mom passed in 2015 she put my daughter's name and hers on the safety deposit box. I was in Fla. 2 weeks ago and the bank said I couldn't look at it or take anything out of it, only my daughter. The amount of the back taxes was $7500 but it goes up every day. Help!

Did your parents bequeath the house to anyone via will? Did ownership pass to anyone via the deed? The only way to stop the sale is to reach an agreement with the taxing body (bodies) who are owed taxes and who are causing the propety to be sold. As the to safety deposit box, is your daughter an adult? if so, then she's the only one who can access it.
