What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
There were two lots of land next to each other and owned by the same owner. One lot has a house and the other is vacant land. The owner lost the vacant land lot to chapter 7 bankruptcy but was allowed to keep his other lot because it contained his primary residence. I purchased the vacant lot out of bankruptcy court. After a survey it comes to find out that the owner's shed is on the vacant lot. So now comes the question of who owns the shed since the deed was from the owner to me via the trustee. Normally it'd just be a case of the guy owns the shed and misplaced it over the lot line. In this case the owner owned both lots and deeded me the vacant lot which contained a shed. The deed doesn't mention the shed which I don't think it would, even if everyone knew there was a shed on the property.
While I'm not going to try to take the guy's shed it would be nice to know my rights before I send him a letter telling him he has to move the shed. I feel bad for the guy since it's probably one thing after another but I intend to sell the property and I'm sure it's going to come up. I'd rather deal with it beforehand.
Thanks.
