where this at baw? what part of the parish?
I may.. or may not.. know someone who can make it dissapear

It's in Raceland, and I already talked to the fire department about lighting it on fire. These baws down here like to play with their red firetrucks!

I just want to make sure ole boy doesn't try and sue me. I don't trust him. He stopped by my house about a year ago asking if the trailer was for sale. I told him, no, that I was in the process of buying the property. He went back when I was at work and found an old for sale sign with the property owner's phone number. I had put it in the back yard under the trailer. He contacted her giving her a poor story about how he lost everything in a fire, same story he told me. I told him he should sell that 2015 Camaro with the fancy rims he was driving. Two days after he stopped, the push lawn mower that had been sitting in the yard next door for 2 years went missing. He ended up convincing her to give him the trailer.

I told that dickhead that trailer wouldn't make it to Thibodaux. He said I just didn't want to help him.

He is from Thibodaux, moving it to Abby

I wouldnt burn it. It would make one hell of a duck blind on lake bouef.

Wouldn't fit under the second bridge.

I could launch it into the bayou. I will have a parking lot for opening day next year, for any OBers.

I am about to purchase some property from a couple from Nevada. There was an old doublewide trailer on the lot. The owners gave/signed over the trailer to a family that lost everything they had in a fire.

They went to a notary and signed it over as an immovable. Well as it turns out the fricking thing really is immovable as you can see in the picture. The moving company separated it and the frame broke and is now sitting on the ground in two spots.

The property owners have tried to get in touch with the family but they won't return emails, calls or texts. I have been in contact with the property owners and they have told me that whenever I purchase the property, the trailer becomes mine also. I am hesitant on if this is true or not. I will have to dispose of this piece of shite trailer now and don't want the poor family trying to sue me for tearing it down. Has anyone had experience with anything like this? This is in Lafourche parish.

Acquisitive Prescription is a viable legal means of obtaining ownership in an immovable, provided good faith in the eyes of the law has been made to contact the owner of the immovable.

If the current owners have owned the property for 10 years and have been unable to contact the homeowner/trailer-owner/structure's owner despite good faith efforts to do so, then under the concept of acquisitive prescription, they can rightfully assume legal ownership of the immovable.

A title search on the part of the party attempting to acquire ownership via acquisitive prescription is NOT required under law to meet the "Good Faith," attempts to fulfill this section of the Civil Code.

I think I found it on google. I bet the neighbors to the North will be happy once it's gone.

The property owners owned the property and trailer for the last 20 something years. Just last month, they told someone that he could have the trailer if he paid to have it moved. He tried to get it moved but it fell apart. The only thing the guy has is a bill of sale to move the trailer.

They own both the immovable and the structure that resides on it. But as far as the clerk of court for the parish, those two structures are not yet his.

By acquisitive prescription, he can claim he's made good faith attempts to contact the owner of the trailer and has not gotten any response. But just because he can now claim AP, that doesn't mean that those two structures are now considered as one on the original title to the immovable property the trailer now stands.

The bottom line is that you need old boy to use AP to claim ownership of the trailer. Then sell both to you. Then you need to bite the bullet and get the trailer demolished or moved off-site somehow. If you own both of them and he just donates the trailer to you, then you're in the clear when you demolish it.
