QLD Can You be Sued for Disposing of Abandoned Property?

[Bighorse]

Hi, I am just inquiring if someone can legally sue you under Property Law if you have disposed of abandoned property and goods after you have purchased the property 18 months later.

Maybe. Depends on a few factors including what you have said in writing to the property owner about their property and the type and value of the property.

Hi Bighorse,

Do you mean you purchased a property and the former owner's property has been there for 18 months?
