Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
When do In-laws stored property become ''Abandonded''.
Upon the foreclosure of her house, my sister-in-law was offered, for a short period of time, the use of my garage to store some of her personal household property. That short period of time has turned into 18+ months. Despite repeated requests to remove her property she has not. At what point can her property be considered abandonded and its removal begun? Or is there some other avenue to be persued in order to have the property removed legally? There was never any written agreement nor was anything paid as a ''storage fee''. Thank you for your assistance.

Re: When do In-laws stored property become ''Abandonded''.
It would appear that you have become responsible for her property. Notify her is writing that if she has not removed her property within 30 days that it will be sold at a public auction. If the value of her property is $100 or less you could just dispose of it after giving her written notice.
