Hello.
My uncle leased a shop with a gated lot and he allowed me to store 3 fork lifts on the property. He suddenly passed away and his landlord has closed the property up and is refusing to allow anyone to recover their property for 30 days. My uncle was apparently behind on his rent. LL claims his atty told him to wait 30 days prior to returning property. My uncle just passed away 2 weeks ago and Im not sure what rights I have to recover my lifts. I do have a Bill of Sale or an invoice for each of the lifts in my name.
Landlord has been in touch with me and has verbally told me that he is fine with my lifts being on the property ... he has no intention of doing anything with them and has even stated that I can keep the lifts stored there for an unspecified time after his 30 day holding pattern.
I would like to trust him but Id rather have legal backing. Do I?
