What is the name of your state?Florida
I own a mobile home on a rented lot in a park. I will be moving as soon as my husband gets his worker's comp. settlement. Like alot of the homes here, my home was severely damaged by last year's hurricanes. My home needs a new roof (it leaks like a sieve) and is filled with mold, but we have continued living in it because we had no choice.
The mobile home is fixable, although it would cost more to fix than it is worth.
Now to my question- a neighbor told me that LEGALLY I can just sign the title over to the park when I move. He said that they could then fix it, sell it, rent it, use it for extra park storage, or take pieces of it to fix other park owned mobiles. He also said that if they choose to have it hauled out, they cannot go after me for the cost, because they will be the owners.
I don't know if he is correct or not, and I haven't decided what to with my mobile yet, but I'm wondering if it would be LEGAL for me to just sign over the title or not.
I'm not asking about the moral part of it, only the legality of doing so.
Thanks
