Q: I purchased vacant land on eBay, should receive warranty deed next month. There appears to be a house on it.
What ownership rights do I have? Their are also some small buildings, and heavy equipment and trucks and tractors.
A: When and if you do receive the deed, you will also own whatever buildings are on it. The personal property is another matter. You can consider it abandoned, when you get the deed, and use or dispose of it. Be sure to ask for titles to vehicles. Be sure to record the deed.

A: If you do receive the warranty deed you may want to take it to a real estate attorney to have a title search done to make sure whoever signed the warranty title had some legal interest in the property since at best you are only acquiring whatever interest that person or entity had in the real property. eBay probably not the best place to be buying and selling real property.
