Re: Abandoned Property

Thanks weis,

Here is a neat little trick to be aware of, after one reads and understands that site.

Along time ago, someone came to me and explained that he discovered something odd. He was a small time logger and was always looking for potential work. When he found land to log, he would go to the town clerk's office (in this particular state) and see who, if anyone, owned it. To his surprise, every time he found a piece of property he thought was abandoned, it was owned by the county sheriff.

As it turns out, the county sheriff was also the "agent to convey land". My friend argued that IF the sheriff truly owned the land, then he should be paying taxes on it, which he was not.

I believe the ruse is, the sheriff put his name to all these available properties, to discourage anyone from doing precisely what they are talking about at the "Stand upon the land" site. Just something to ponder.

Sincerely,
truth
