Both parents have since passed and the tower lease was left to their heirs, my sister and I. What recourse do we have to approach Crown Castle for a new lease, with better terms. The tax office has SBA listed as the responsible party for taxes on the tower. I'm not even sure I have a correct copy of the lease agreement.

Sounds like Crown lease was acquired by SBA. Contact them and provide proof of land ownership and ask them for a copy of the lease.

It's not illegal to negotiate a cell tower lease and "forget" to leave out the rent escalator, but it is horrible of them, and sadly it happens more than you want to know.
