Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Wisconsin

This is a difficult question in WI, since there are no clear deadlines relating to domestic situations of abandoned property, unlike for landlord tenant situations, which create a presumption of abandonment at a relatively certain point. In order to legally dispose of the belongings, you might therefore actually need to sue him and get either a court order awarding you ownership of the property or judicial permission to dispose of it.
