A NY man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home with a few acres in Portugal. The modest farmhouse had been vacant for years, the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes. There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway. So, nobody made an offer on the place and was neglected and abandoned since the death of the owner in the early 80s.The retired man bought it, moved in, and set about to tear in to the barn, curiosity was killing him. So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders and cut through the welds. The owner of the property was an automobile dealer in the 1970s and 1980s, he decided to save the more interesting cars that came through his doors in secrecy. Built up an assemblage of cars over the years and stashed them in the barn (Padlocking and soldering the doors shut when the structure was full)before his sudden death.. http://hunkydee..com/2011/01/barnyard-find-guy-buys-land-inherits.html?m=1 4 Likes 3 Shares

Can someone verify if these cars can be owned by the new owner of the house? Does it fall among property he paid for? Or the people who sold the place to him can claim it? 1 Like |
