Q: We have a mobile home in my moms park. It has been abandoned for 4/5 years. We have no idea how to get in touch with any
How do we take possession or move home if we don’t know where owners are or if they still own it
A:
To address the issue of an abandoned mobile home on your mother's property, it is necessary to follow the legal procedures set forth by the state of Louisiana.
First, you should attempt to locate the owner using any available contact information, and if that fails, you may need to place a notice in a local newspaper. If the owner does not respond within the timeframe specified by state law, you can then proceed with filing a petition with the local court to request a judgment awarding ownership or the right to dispose of the property.
Consulting with an attorney may be beneficial to navigate the process and ensure that all legal protocols are adhered to. It is important to avoid taking possession of or moving the home without legal authority to avoid potential liability.
