Generally, when real property is "abandoned" there are other entities that can acquire title legally. If there is a mortgage in default, the bank can foreclose and take possession of the property. If there is no mortgage and the owner has abandoned the property the town can take possession of the property for non-payment of property taxes. Title to real estate must be transferred legally. If you are thinking of acquiring property by adverse possession, in Mississippi, the duration of such possession is ten (10) years. Mississippi Code §15-1-7, 13.

What is the Statute of limitations on unknowingly selling stolen property?

It depends on the state, or jurisdiction, of your residence. You have two separate items in the same question. You're asking about the statutes that pertain to dealing in stolen property, yet you say you did it "unknowingly." If "unknowingly" is your defense, go to court and plead not guilty and clear your record instead of trying to avoid arrest by "gaming" the statutes of limitations.

Is there a time frame after my civil case is complete to file criminal charges?

Criminal charges are filed at any time within a specified time frame known as the Statute of Limitations, which varies from state to state, and depends on what type of criminal offense, such as misdemeanors versus felonies, crimes against property versus crimes against persons, and homicides which do not carry statutes of limitations. In some states, such as South Carolina, there are no statutes of limitations for felonies.
