on land owned by my father now. My mom passed away 2 1/2 years ago. He has said in a answering machine message (all of which I'm keeping to play for the police if it comes to that) that this is his trailer and I'm not taking it anywhere. Whose doublewide is it and what can I do if it's mine to get it moved to another site that I have been told for years is mine for the taking since I have to have it moved threw our driveway that is on his land?????

If it's in your name then there isnt anything he can do or say about it. Just make sure you talk to a lawyer and the police before attempting to move it.
Make sure you have a police officer with you when you make the move. Also make sure that you inform your father since the property belongs to him. Trust me, in this instance the police are your best friend.

What proof do you have that the said trailer is yours? Since through the answering machine that play's the voice of your father said that it is his trailer, and it is standing on his land. What do you mean by doublewide? Unless you can proved to the authorities in that county that the trailer truck is yours then you could move in it anywhere else in the country.
Verbally anybody can tell you that the trailer is yours, but proving it is another question. I can even tell you that the bridge in So. Carolina is yours too. But telling you and proving it in court is two different idea's. You must provide the authentic ownership receipt or document of sale for that trailer to prove that it belongs to you. If not, then even the person or persons who told you that it is yours isn't gonna be bought by the court.

If you say you own it then you must have some proof of ownership. A trailer is personal property (not real estate) so you can pick it up and take it anywhere you want like you can any other thing. If this becomes a "he said, she said" issue, then sometime when he is not around have the trailer simply moved away to your new location, and then fight from that vantage point.
The fact that it happens to be sitting on land owned by your father means nothing; it is separate from the land, like a car. If you park your car in someone's driveway does that mean they now own your car? Of course not.
I see a nasty greed battle looming.

First of all who's paying for the trailer? If it's in your name and you have proof that you are paying for it I think he doesn't have a leg to stand on. On the other hand if he, and that's a big if, is making the payments on it I would say that a court would have to decide. If it turns out that it is absolutely yours you may have to have the police tell him that you can move it. What's the difference between the land it is sitting on and the driveway you would have to cross to move it? None as I see it? Good luck!

It is in your name so he can not do anything about the trailer. He can make you move it off his land. If the land you are moving it to is land your mom & dad gave you and it is not in writing he probably will not let you have it either. Sounds like you need to move it off your dad's property. Good luck!

If you have the documents that show that you own it he can't take your home. As far as moving it..He might be able to prevent that because it's on his property and he won't allow trespassers. Without a warrant...even the police arn't allowed on his property. You need a lawyer and Lot's of money. I know it's unfair....but that's how you have do it.

If you have an actual title to the trailer, it is yours. When trailers are first sold, a title is issued similar to the title on an automobile. I am assuming you are in the US.

The name on the title will probably convince the police of ownership. If the title was in your mom's name, you may be out of luck.
