QUESTION
How can I get my property back from someone?
Asked on Mar 17th, 2015 on Family Law - California
More details to this question:
I own a piece of equipment, a skid steer with implements, that for convoluted reasons he has on his property. I talked with him today and told him that I needed to come and pick it up as I need the money and want to sell it, he flat stated that, "No, he needed it and was keeping it." Fortunately, I have all of the paperwork showing all of the particulars and that I, in fact purchased (financed) it and when I paid it off. What is my recourse? What can I do legally to acquire it?

From these facts alone, it seems your personal property on the real property of another who refuses to return it is converting the personal property. Rather than getting it back a remedy can be to sue this person for the value of the personal property, loss of use, interest and obtain a money judgment. Then foreclose on his property to get the physical payment. Most of the time you will just get paid, or have the personal property returned. If there are undisclosed material facts this opinion will change.
