Is it still possible to find an unclaimed piece of property and buy claim it old west style? I was told that the 5 homes overlooking Swami’s to the south of the parking lot in Encinitas.
There are two categories to look up here.
Ownership by adverse possession. (applies to owned property)
Homestead act. (applies to gov land, not talking about homestead protection from default.. ie ‘new’ California Homestead act)
There really is not any ‘unclaimed’ property anymore. Either it is gov owned or private.
