You post is vague as to whether you were issued a code enforcement citation with a fine and/or notice of hearing, or instead just some kind of warning, without any legal consequences at the moment. If you were issued a citation, immediately consult an attorney - meaning call a law office and... Read more »

To the question "How can I find out who legal owner of [a particular road or property] is?" A survey and/or a title search can usually answer the question. A title search goes through the land records and can reveal whether someone lawfully owns X sq. feet of land or show whether or not there... Read more »
Maybe. In order to obtain land by adverse possession there are several things you have to be able to prove. That you possessed the property, that you exercised control that was exclusive (nobody else controlling it), open (not hidden), notorious (well known or easy to see), and hostile to ownership...

A corporation is like a separate person. The fact that you have rights in the person does not give you rights in its property. Those rights are defined by corporate law, the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, and any applicable contracts

if the landowner dies and the easement holder goes bankrupt can a third party move in, steal the land?
You have provided nowhere near enough facts for anyone to answer your question with an informed opinion. That being said, I think it would be fair to say that no one can come in and "steal the land."
Adverse possession (not squatting) in regards to real estate, as I understand it, is when someone has taken over part of your property and is actively using it with your knowledge and you, the legal owner of said property has done nothing to remove the person from your property.

are several handicap spaces. My car was parked in one of them when it was towed. I have a handicapped displayed on my rear view mirror. Is that a legal tow?
According to you - you need a sticker in addition to a handicapped plate or placard. If you didn't have a sticker it is likely a proper tow.
Living in the same trailer park.I payed 1 months of rent and tells me that i need to move. I pay $672 a month. I gave them $1100 to move in. They knew he had the charge and he is on the lease.
Hey there must be a valid lease first to see what legal recourse you have.
My condition is stable and I live on my own.
Not sure of your question. But the only way you will set aside that conveyance is for the Grantees, and now owners, to convey it back to you. I suggest a Life Estate/ Remainder Deed.
You have not given enough information.
My mother gave me a letter from 1988 stating a lawyer would contact her from NOLA and that never happened. I have no idea what happened to the tract of land. DO we still have any rights to the land?
It’s unlikely, but it’s possible. The answer is learned by ordering a title search, and that will cost money.
Related to a sign on commercial Ca property where there were easements made that run with land for access to sign .... but people are not paying and property taxes up. Can we remove their signs ?
Usually an easement would survive a judicial foreclosure.

I have a 125cc dirtbike that cannot go really fast. I live in a pretty laxed equestrian neighborhood. The roads are gravel with no line markings or anything, but isn't rural. I am very confused on the laws in my neighborhood. There is no sign that specifically targets golf carts, but a street sign... Read more »
The statute doesn't apply; your bike is not an ATV (which would not be "street-legal" but nevertheless can be operated under the enumerated conditions).
For the local laws you would have to ask somebody in your locality..

The couple who owns the property is going through a divorce and planning to sell the property soon, but has not yet listed it. Should I approach them before they put it on the market?
You can make an offer now, while both own it. But it will not be simple, as you need a survey, and may possibly have to work out an easement. You need a title search first. After you do all this, the conveyance may not be made.
