Mobile homes usually have titles, which you would need to sell it. I've seen homes sell without titles, but for much less than they are worth. You need to call the government offices in your county and ask; this is usually the assessors office.
If they didnt sell you the home, then the home should still be in their name and i'm not sure if you can do anything about that. It could be considered abandoned, but thats up to the county you are in.
Call the offices and see what you come up with and good luck!

Depending on the laws where you live you can most likely claim ownership. A person who leaves property behind has a right to it but there is an expectation they will retrieve it in a timely manner. Your parents may have been obligated to notify the owners to remove the mobile home but after 10 years I would say it is theirs now.
