What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
Prior to submitting an offer to purchase property from the state DNR, I visited the site. I noted that the neighbor had placed garbage (broken cars, mobile home, etc.) on the property. After speaking with him, I found out that the property had belonged to his father and had been claimed by the state for non-payment of taxes over 40 years ago. After deeming the property as not beneficial to the state, the DNR put it up for sale. I plan on having a land survey to determine boundary. What recourse do I have should the neighbor not clean up the debris? Can I claim the items that are on the property? What, if after forty years, I find that he built a structure on my property? Do I get to keep that structure? Thanks.
