>> Hello probate experts,
>>
>>
>>
>> I have a probate where there is a mobile home on the land that needs
>> to be removed and destroyed (not livable). It has been there for like 50
>> years and my client assumed her grandfather owned it and then her father.
>> It turns out that it is owned by someone else, but the Auditor's office
>> cannot disclose the owner. The Auditor also indicated there is a lien on
>> it, but again they will not disclose who has a lien. The Auditor said if
>> the client can remove it from the land, then they can just notify the
>> auditor. The problem is that all of the demo/removal companies require
>> a title. Even if we get a title, it is unlikely we can find the old owner
>> from over 50 years ago. Any suggestions? Can we do a motion in the Probate
>> asking the judge for an order to allow the Auditor to disclose ownership
>> information or an order to allow the abandoned property to be removed?
>>
