Ask a Lawyer

Question

Country: United States of America
State: Missouri

At the beginning of September, we moved into a house. The previous owner still has a boat in the back yard which he hasn't moved, after many requests to do so. Every place we've tried to get answers from tells us to ask an attorney. What do we need to do to take legal possession of the boat?
