If your name is on the deed then you are an owner and you can simply put it up for sale. I would hope that the deed with your name on it (as a party of the second part) was recorded with the register of deeds in the county where the property is located.

Yes and it is consider voluntary repossession, will be sold through private bids or auction, and you will be responsible for the remaining balance.

old you could discharge (wipe) all debt that was not secured. new laws works like a credit counseling service where they negotiate a pay off and you pay on it. cheaper and easier to use a service that file in court and you can even try the negotion your self\n\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=9521974071&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT\n\nincludes a sample letter

It is a court order allowing property to be siezed and held (and in some cases sold) until the debt is satisfied.

It is kinda low of him to withhold your property like that, however, it is a landlords right in many states to withhold certain property until full payment is made. If you want your stuff back I would pay him what you owe as to avoid being sued make sure to get a receipt for your payment. Good Luck

Possession is 9/10's the law, therefore since you are acting on behalf of the bank who owns the property, you don't have to contact the people.  I'm sure they've had plenty of notices, too.  Those people no longer own the property, therefore their personal belongings no longer belong to them.

The easiest way would be to order a title search. The title report would disclose any liens against the property, who the current owner of record is, easements, mineral claims, etc.

Go to CA state website...you will find listing of all retained funds. You will have to provide serious proof of ownership. Make sure there are no outstanding warrants for your arrest.

If you mean "statute" of limitations, then yes, there is one.  However, the time doesn't begin to run until the debt was due. some 10 or 20 years after you borrowed the money.  Furthermore, if it was guaranteed by the government, as most were, then the debt to feds wont accrue until the feds pay it off and come after you.  So, while the answer is yes, it is unlikely you will get away with stealing the money by not paying your debts.

IN property law often times ACTUALLY Holding on to an object or occupying a some land is often decisive.\n\nFor example: if you are walking down a street and someone snatches your purse and is then caught, YOU do not have to prove that the purse is ACTUALLY yours, that you did not steal it yesterday etc etc, before the person is convicted as a thief. All you have to show to convict that person of theft is that you were just holding on to a purse before he snatched it. \n\nSimilarly if your purse is stolen and is not found within 5 years(statute of limitations) the thief basically now owns the purse, because there is no way you can prosecute him.\n\nThis doctrine also often applies to real property. If you actually LIVE on the land(but don't have a legal title, basically you are squatting) you can kick off a new trespasser without showing title. And if you live on the land long enough(usually 10 years) You will get a Title to it, and the person who had it before but did not use the land looses it(This is known as adverse possession).\n\nSo basically often(90% of time) the entitlement to property will be useless or irrelevant while ACTUAL POSSESSION will control.

make daily deposits or @ each collection time just as if you were a big buss, keep your hand out of the cookie jar, even start 2 separate accounts one for petty cash and another for long term wealth, if you get rid of it asap you dont lose it or no one can take it.

If it has been in both your possessions for 6 months, it is community property.  Go buy a car for you and tell him to stick that one up his a**!

They can keep handing it off to other creditors that buy the loan.  And can actually follow you as long as they want.  There are legal avenues to follow and they can be stopped also.

If they are willing to spend the money on lawyer's fees, a very long time. Debts don't disappear just because they are old. You either pay them or try to declare bankruptcy. If they get a court judgment against you, they can garnish your wages and have the sheriff seize your property.

This is a practice known as "squatting." The laws vary from state to state and nation to nation. I've heard of a few places that allow you to acquire the title to the property after a predetermined amount of years but you need to check that out with your local laws.

File a claim with the police.  File a claim with your insurance company.  Neither one will result in getting the merchandise back or any money, but it will establish a record of the crime.  This will help if you catch the same people in the act next time.\n\nAnother precaution you can take (besides locking up the car and house securely and/or with an alarm) is to engrave a code number on your stuff, and write down the code number on a separate piece of paper that you put in safe-keeping.  Then if you know who took the stuff, the police can check for the code number you provide them, and that will be enough evidence for them to reclaim the property and charge the criminals.\n\nGood luck!

A good shotgun to the head helps.  Acutually, using the media is best.  What property are they taking?  If its stuff that you owe money on, then really they aren't taking your property;  they're taking their property.  If its expropriation for building a highway or something of that nature, then get the media involved.  The government hates bad press.
