Usually, mobile homes are considered "property" and so you should be able to check with the tax department of the city in which you live to see if the title was changed to you. If she is still the owner, then just move and let her worry about it. If you are the owner, then you would have to dispose of the trailer.

There seem to be several issues to sort out. If nothing else, you have right of adverse posession. But if you need to move out because the trailer is unlivable, and the taxes are in her name, then why not just move?

You need to talk with the Department of Motor Vehicles re who owns title; sounds like you do not own the trailer title, and could walk.

What do you want to do? Contact a local attorney and discuss the situation with them. Many attorneys give free consultations. If the taxes and title are in the old owner's name and you have nothing in writing showing you bought it, it is probably not yours.

NC is s title jurisdiction. You need a paper title. Contact DMV in Raleigh and ask them what to do.

If it is uninhabitable and you bought it in 1999 what is its worth? Do you really want to be the owner? You can sue for the title but given the circumstances you may not want it.

You need to hire an attorney who handles property law. The title may be registered. Hire an attorney.

I do not understand your question clearly.. use spell check.. If the trailer is still in her name.. and you do not want to live there any more .. move and abandon it.. There might be repercussions but its been soo long she will be involved if her name is on it.

You should be able to check this with the Secretary of State's office. If you did not get the title changed, then you do not own it, as far as anyone is concerned. This sounds like a mess. Why would the taxes still be in the former owner's name?
