Cavalier mobilehome owners in Oceanside tripped up trying to sell
People forget that the home is separate from the land, (and is what is called chattel), and has no rights to stay on the land once the lease holder dies. The family of the deceased can do anything they want with the home as they own it, just as if they inherited a car or rv. If the land owners want a new home placed on their property, it is their right as owners. The home (not the land) is a depreciating asset, just like a car, and does have a value, which is quickly determined through the NADA guide, which is like a bluebook for boats , rv's and mobile homes. Most valuations for 50 year old double wide homes is 12,000 to 15,000 in great shape. Lots of those homes in that era have aluminum wiring, which can be a fire hazard if not cared for, and should be removed for an updated, newer home. Bottom line is the property owners should have some kind of say so on what happens on their land. They pay all the taxes and insurance and incur 100% of the liability if something happens on their property— March 28, 2019 8:31 a.m.
