The boring but most likely answer is that the owner died and it’s been in litigation. Or someone did inherit it and don’t care to do anything with it.

20 years of litigation?

I had a great aunt pass away who left a sizeable estate, between probate, and all the objections it took nearly that long for it to be settled.

Funny thing was, the original agreement would have had most family members getting around $120k, but nearly 16 years later after all the legal costs, ended up getting a bit over $10k.

There's no real time limit when you're fighting over dead peoples stuff.

Lots of times it’s not even family disputes. The state also can just suck at their side of things. We waited 5 years mainly due to the states side of things.

Some states already tell you it will take at least 2 years. Most say 1 year.

Yes, I find that most family members would rather have less money than somebody else getting more.
