Where Do They Come From?

Huge sections of land have been taken by adverse possession here around Lake O.   Families that owned tiny little homesteads back in the 1930's - 1950's now have GIANT parcels of land.   But here's the kicker......They can't sell it now without having it surveyed and all back taxes settled with the state.  And apparently the cost to do that is overwhelming, because ALOT of sales or transfers of land have been aborted because of it. 

You'd think that the state would just TAKE IT in lieu of back taxes..... but for some reason they don't.   They just allow it continue to accumulate excess taxes owed.  They probably calculate it as going clear back to the end of time.  

I tried to buy an 18 acre piece of land along Gravois cr. but the cost to do it LEGALLY was totally outrageous and way too headachey to even persue.  I did find out though that I can easily avoid any potential trespassing charges that I may be charged with.....so I go there all the time.   The one time I was told by a deputy to "GET OFF THE PROPERTY" I inquired as to whose property I was allegedly trespassing on?   They never responded and no charges were filed.  In order to charge a person with trespassing there needs to be someone holding a legal deed to that property.

So while you may be able to "claim" land by adverse possession.....Good luck legally keeping people off of it.   👍 And I certainly wouldn't advise building anything, other than maybe a fence, on that property.  You can ask someone to leave, and if they do....then fine.   But if you physically remove them, threaten them, or harm them in any way..... You're screwed !

You guys are all wrong.   You call the HOA😂

When we was looking at our place we looked at an aerial with markings of property lines. Was sure it was off.

Found Survey Markers. Had a Shed on my property and I put a lock on it. Neighbor came asking why I put a lock on his Shed? Not your Shed it’s 10 foot on me. Anyway he kept insisting it was his. So I went to my Lawyer.

My Lawyer told me be best to just sell him that Shed plus little bit of property. I told him if he buys this I want him to have it Surveyed and redo the paperwork. He thought he had me by the short ones because he was going by the Aerial and thought he had part of my Garage. Well Survey was done it showed he comes out his Back Door he is on my property and his other neighbor corner was halfway in his Garage. So Survey didn’t help him.

Now he is wanting to sell his place and is saying the Aerial over rides the Survey. They said so at the Courthouse. I asked him who told him this BS at the Courthouse? He hasn’t came up with a name.

Sick your wife on them.   She’ll take care of them.

There was a land grab around here 10-12 years ago by a company called Sierra land co.,. and there method of operation was to locate sizable pieces of land that had been taken via "adverse possession" and somehow gobbling them up.  They weren't interested in any land near creeks or rivers though because of potential flood concerns.   They divided their newly aquired land into 1/2-3/4 acre lots and financed them to people looking for a place to build a home.  

Only one section that I'm aware of turned into a nice neighborhood, the rest of the Sierra acquisitions are now a scattered slum of old trashy trailers with numerous cars on blocks, and abandoned crackhouses on hillsides and hilltops with heavily rutted driveways.  

Land along creeks and rivers are always suspect to adverse possession, so if someone is trying to keep you from accessing a creek or river, especially if that person isn't actively farming that land, there is a high probability that they have no legal right to keep you from being there.    That includes the county sheriff.  His job is actually to PROTECT YOU while you're there.  

Believe it or not.

Oh somebody will buy it, clean it up, and it will be nice someday.   

I wouldn't ever wanna live on a piece of property that I couldn't use however I feel like.   If I wanna hang a deer in a tree, restore an old Camaro, or build a fire-pit in the front yard.... then bygod I'm gonna do it. 👍

I get it.   Maybe one day I’ll have a place like that.

I looked at my rules and there is nothing in there about hanging a dead animal in a tree.   I have a fire pit in the backyard because it’s out of the north wind back there.   And I have a 3 and a half car garage so I could restore an old Camaro.  69 of course.  So we’re the same😁

Can you shoot squirrels in your back yard naked like billethead? That's open range there.

[oneshot]

I shoot Squirrels but I have to be dressed.  We have HOA at our Cabin and they are crooked but I have less problem with them than here.

My other neighbor tried suing me for part of our property because we wasn’t using it.

I always wind up with idiots. Had one dig up Survey markers and move the fence over. Had one trying to take 160 feet off the back side of my Farm.

New deal is this guy is trying to sell his place but because property lines are not in his favor he is trying to change them. He bought the road thinking he could control who goes in and out. Found he couldn’t do that so he tried to sell me the road.
