California Code of Civil Procedure

§ 321. Possession, when presumed: Occupation deemed under legal title, unless

adverse

In every action for the recovery of real property, or the possession thereof, the person

establishing a legal title to the property is presumed to have been possessed thereof

within the time required by law, and the occupation of the property by any other person

is deemed to have been under and in subordination to the legal title, unless it appear

that the property has been held and possessed adversely to such legal title, for five

years before the commencement of the action.

§ 322. Occupation under written instrument or judgment, when deemed adverse

When it appears that the occupant, or those under whom he claims, entered into the

possession of the property under claim of title, exclusive of other right, founding such

claim upon a written instrument, as being a conveyance of the property in question, or

upon the decree or judgment of a competent court, and that there has been a continued

occupation and possession of the property included in such instrument, decree, or

judgment, or of some part of the property, under such claim, for five years, the property

so included is deemed to have been held adversely, except that when it consists of a

tract divided into lots, the possession of one lot is not deemed a possession of any

other lot of the same tract.

§ 323. What constitutes adverse possession under written instrument or

judgment

For the purpose of constituting an adverse possession by any person claiming a title,

founded upon a written instrument, or a judgment or decree, land is deemed to have

been possessed and occupied in the following cases:

1. Where it has been usually cultivated or improved;

2. Where it has been protected by a substantial inclosure;

3. Where, although not inclosed, it has been used for the supply of fuel, or of

fencing-timber for the purposes of husbandry, or for pasturage, or for the

ordinary use of the occupant;

4. Where a known farm or single lot has been partly improved, the portion of

such farm or lot that may have been left not cleared, or not inclosed

according to the usual course and custom of the adjoining country, shall

be deemed to have been occupied for the same length of time as the part

improved and cultivated.

§ 324. Premises actually occupied under claim of title deemed to be held

adversely

Where it appears that there has been an actual continued occupation of land, under a

claim of title, exclusive of any other right, but not founded upon a written instrument,

judgment, or decree, the land so actually occupied, and no other, is deemed to have

been held adversely.

§ 325. What constitutes adverse possession under claim of title not written

For the purpose of constituting an adverse possession by a person claiming title, not

founded upon a written instrument, judgment, or decree, land is deemed to have been

possessed and occupied in the following cases only:

1. Where it has been protected by a substantial inclosure.

2. Where it has been usually cultivated or improved.

Provided, however, that in no case shall adverse possession be considered established

under the provisions of any section or sections of this code, unless it shall be shown

that the land has been occupied and claimed for the period of five years continuously,

and the party or persons, their predecessors and grantors, have paid all the taxes,

state, county, or municipal, which have been levied and assessed upon such land.

You shouldn't "abandon" it because that means you'll become a tax delinquent and it will be reported on your credit record. You should contact someone in your city and state to see if they want it, especially if it could be used as a green space, conservation land, or for passive public recreation. You may even be able to get some payment for it.

Check your state website for any link to land conservation and start asking questions.

The lien is valid. A quit claim deed merely transfers the seller's interest in the property; it doesn't guarantee that the deed is free of any encumbrances - for that, one needs a warranty deed.

The person who will "acquire" the property must commence a probate proceeding in the probate court. That means you need to present the will for allowance and be appointed the executor or if there is no will you must petition to become the administrator of the estate. The only way for title to real property to pass to an heir is through probate court. You should seek the advice of an attorney who can assist you in this process.

Subject to some restrictions, foreigners are permitted to acquire real property in China. Therefore, the key to the issue is what restrictions are placed on foreigners when they acquire real property. Any foreign entities and individuals who intend to purchase real property not for self-use in China must first establish foreign invested enterprises (FIEs) and then conduct business within its business scope. To put it another way, if no FIEs are established in China, foreign entities or individuals are not permitted to purchase real property not for self-use. This is so called rule of Business Existence. Foreign entities' branches or rep offices in China, unless otherwise they are real estate enterprises upon approval by government, and the foreign individuals who have worked or studied in China more than one year may purchase real property for self-use or residence. The foreign entities who have not yet established branches or rep offices in China or the foreign individuals who have not yet worked or studied more than one year in China may not purchase real property. The residents in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese may purchase the certain area of real property in China for self-residence.

Yes. If you are on the deed and also signed the mortgage you are the co-owner and you have the right to the use and possession of the property. You are also responsible for paying the mortgage in full if the person you "co-signed" for stops paying it.

Get a landman. A buyer or seller can hire a representative of the oil and gas drilling company, generally known as a "landman" or "petroleum landman," to attempt to identify all owners of the minerals and holders of the executive rights. An oil and gas attorney is another resource for this task. Know it may not be easy. Thanks to a long history of severed mineral estates, many sellers have negotiated to keep the mineral rights for future income, even when they no longer own the surface of the land. And those ownership interests don't always stop there. For example, when minerals become part of an inheritance, the route to finding the true owner can become more complicated.

If the landlord wants to sell the rental property, the tenant has different rights depending on what state the property is in. Usually, a landlord has to give 60 days notice for an intent to sell. Then, it is up to the landlord whether or not the property can be occupied by the tenant until the sale date. If there is a lease, the landlord usually cannot sell the property until the lease is up, but all states have different rules regarding occupancy.
