I smoke weed and some person won’t get off my property harassing me i don’t want the sheriffs if I call them, searching my home and maybe planting something on me.

Based on the facts presented, NO, they could not search you and your home...
unless they have probable cause.
Maybe have a friend with you to verify what happened.
Is parking to neighbor's driveway legal? I want to know what action can I take. I do not know the owner of the vehicle.
The vehicle is blocking my car to get out of the garage.
Thanks

Call your local police or sheriff's department and have them tow the vehicle.

Illegal evictions are not allowed in California. You must go through the proper channels to obtain an eviction. That being said, the tenancy itself is illegal due to the garage not being a habitable structure.

You should look for a lawyer with experience handling both elder abuse claims and civil rights cases. You might also contact the local ACLU office and ask for their help.

You might search for your properties:
in person at the county property collector,
online through the internet, or
with the help of an individual.
The property ( Vacant Land Lot value under $30,000) has a few owners.
One of them has the property under Living Trust, he is passed away.
This person doesn't have a wife or children.
We can not get Trust documents of his Living Trust.

Unfortunately, you can't just give away property that belongs to someone else. Even if you tried, the County would never accept a Grant Deed that was signed by someone who is not authorized to give away the property.
When someone passes away and has a trust, the trust will say who... Read more »

In our name only? They have not paid their half share of the purchase nor taxes since the early 80’s. I want full title so I can sell it. Currently not worth what we have paid in taxes over the years. What can we do.
answered on Mar 29, 2022
you can ask them to relinquish their interest to you and if they dont then you can file a partition action and have the court order the property sold and funds distributed based on contributions and payments towards the property.

I am not sure that you will prevail on a prescriptive easement claim. A prescriptive easement allows a trespasser to acquire the right to use the land of another without paying for it. To acquire a prescriptive easement over another's land, the following elements must be met (Felgenhauer v.... Read more »

Would the eviction process be used to remove tenants from unlawful residency..?
If code enforcement were involved would it be necessary for them to evict tenants..?
answered on Jul 10, 2021
We need more facts to give you a certain answer but it is likely that you will need to file an unlawful or forcible detainer action to remove the dwelling if it is occupied as a residence.

Would he receive any benefits from this, tax write offs etc? Also he owes taxes on the property, I am willing to pay those off to make this happen. I plan to use this as a nonprofit headquarters, Art/Yoga/Event Space. Its already zoned for 4 residential structures

Real estate transfers and planning for the tax consequences are never do-it-yourself tasks. Tax benefits cannot be calculated without information about the property and the taxpayer.
