Hi there... This is in Louisiana. Will I be able to take over an abandoned home in my locality?
Hi jelly,
You cannot suddenly take over an abandoned property. You will have to purchase the home from the owner of the property.
Take care

Hi jelly!
Welcome to the forums!
You cannot simply take over the property even if you are thinking of adverse possession. You will have to check out your state laws regarding adverse possession. In case of Louisiana, you will have to possess, maintain and pay taxes for that property for minimum 10 years. It will be better if you could speak to an attorney and take his opinion in this regard.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
