"Owner Unknown" land must be researched by the town and the town must take title for delinquent property taxes through Land Court and the tax title procedure in that jurisdiction. It's a long process and once completed the town will have legal title and can sell the land to a new owner. You should inquire at your local tax assessor's office.

How do you get an easement on landlocked property in TN without lawyers?

Is all the land in the US owned by someone either private owners businesses or government?

Yes. All the land in the United States is owned by some entity. In some cases the identity of the legal owner cannot be determined. The reason may be that the land was too difficult to survey at the time of the original surveys. In that case the government would be the owner by default. A more common case occurs when land is in undeveloped or remote areas, the original owner died long ago and the estate was never probated to help establish the chain of title. In Massachusetts when the present owner cannot be determined the municipality can assess property taxes against "Owner Unknown" and eventually take possession of the land for non-payment of those taxes. The title can be established by a court decree and the land can eventually be sold to a new owner.


Where a plot of land for a cabin can only be accessed via Forestery owned land does owner have right of way to the land?

If you are contemplating the purchase of a land locked parcel you must determine PRIOR TO the purchase if there will be access granted over the public land. There may be an easement in the owner's deed, or, access may be unavailable. The present owner may have access that will expire upon the sale of the property. The state may have a right of first refusal to purchase the parcel. Acquiring such parcels would be in its best interest. The title to the parcel needs to be examined for rights of access.
