mobile home with addition
I have filed a list of heirs/real estate affidavit for property owned by my mother who died intestate in 2001. on the property is a mobile home that has recently had a huge addition with a wrap around deck built on to the back of it. it also has a 10×16 brick and concrete front porch with awning, and a brick foundation, the addition is built on a foundation and perminately attached to the mobile home making it impossible to remove the mobile home without doing extensive damage to the addition the front porch or the foundation, the problem is the mobile home title is held by a third party in his name, there are no leins on the mobile home. I want the mobile home to stay because it is now attached to a structure that is built on the land. what can I do to prevent the person owning it from removing it? or do I have to do anything since it is now attached to the real property by way of the addition.
Re: mobile home with addition
The person who currently has title to the mobile home is the owner of the mobile home and may remove it at any time from this property. Merely because fixtures of some type have apparently been added to the mobile home does not divest the legal title holder to the mobile home of his or her ownership rights in this piece of personalty( the mobile home).
Your remedy is to buy this person out of his or her ownership interest in the mobile home and then have title properly placed in your name.
