Abandoned

The term abandonment has a multitude of uses, legal and extra-legal. This "signpost article" provides a guide to the various legal and quasi-legal uses of the word and includes links to articles that deal with each of the distinct concepts at greater length. Abandonment, in law, is the relinquishment or renunciation of an interest, claim, privilege, possession or right, especially with the intent of never again resuming or reasserting it. Such intentional action may take the form of a discontinuance or a waiver. This broad meaning has a number of applications in different branches of law. In common law jurisdictions, both common law abandonment and statutory abandonment of property may be recognized. Common law abandonment may be generally defined as "the relinquishment of a right [in property] by the owner thereof without any regard to future possession by himself or any other person, and with the intention to foresake [sic] or desert the right...." Common law abandonment is "the voluntary relinquishment of a thing by its owner with the intention of terminating his ownership, and without [the intention of] vesting ownership in any other person; the giving up of a thing absolutely, without reference to any particular person or purpose...." (emphasis added) [footnotes and citations omitted]. An example of statutory abandonment in a common law jurisdiction is abandonment by a bankruptcy trustee under 11 U.S.C. ยง 554). In Scots law, failure to assert a legal right in a way that implies abandonment of it is called taciturnity.

What is the legal status of farms and other real estate abandoned during forced migrations?
Q. Does international law have anything to say about this, or is it up to the law of the individual countries? Who became the owners of the land, for example, which was abandoned in Eastern Europe during the mass fleeing of people at the end of WWII? Did any of these countries ever recognize that the refugees had property ownership rights?
Asked by Pascha - Mon Sep 10 18:23:55 2007 - International Organizations - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. International law has elaborated a fairly complete set of norms protecting property during war, the violation of which gives rise to a duty of reparation. These norms belong to such diverse fields of law as the law of armed conflicts, human rights law, refugee law, the law of international investment and ius ad bellum, which prohibits aggression in international relations. Reparation for damage of war is a concept introduced in international law after the First World War. It is based on the idea that liability follows from responsibility for the violation of a pre-existing legal norm. Before the 20th century, it depended on the balance of powers between warring States whether or not any damage was made good: the victor decided, regardless… [cont.]

How to buy abandoned houses in the country?
Q. I've lived a few different places, and no matter where you go, once you get out in the country there are always abandoned houses sitting around. (Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Either burned out, falling apart, no windows, etc.). It makes me sooo dissapointed because I would love to buy one for cheap and fix it up! But I have no idea how to go about contacting whoever owns them. Any thoughts?
