Hello,
I have a lot next door to my own and after doing some research through the tax collector website, I found out that this property is owned by a trust. How can I found out how to contact the Executor of the trust to see if i can purchase the lot from them? The lot in question resides in San Bernardino county, in California.:confused:

You actually want to contact the Trustee of the trust. If you know the parcel APN, you can gain considerable information about the property and its owner here http://nppublic.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/newpims/(S(ofik4kjsbf5ha355wf42hu55))/PimsInterface.aspx

This is the info I got from the website.....I don't see a trustee listed, unless I am seeing it wrong?
Name Of owner, % Owned, Acquisition date, Document date, Inactive date
BRANDT TR 12/8/93 FBO RALPH A BRANDT TU 100% 02/28/2003 02/28/2003 NONE
BRANDT, MARINA A TRUST -EST OF TR 100.% 03/24/2002 03/24/2002 02/27/2003
BRANDT, MARINA A TR TR 100% 01/01/1973 01/04/1995 03/23/2002
BRANDT, MARINA A SO 100% 01/01/1973 11/30/1994 01/03/1995

Also I have never seen anyone stop by and clean the lot and was wondering if I build a fence across it and start to use it, does this qualify as the start to Adverse posetion? I know in California I need to pay the taxes as well, but what I can tell they(the trust) are paying the taxes on it still.......Should I try an Easement?

I would try to locate Ralph or Marina Brandt, as they seem to be the owner(s) of the property.

Before you attempt to obtain title to the property via adverse possession, you should read this court case http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data2/californiastatecases/e022901.doc You will note the case involved the adverse possession of property in San Bernardino County and that the Court of Appeal affirmed the trespass conspiracy verdict (among others) against the putative, adverse possessor.

Suffice to say, before you take any action, you should discuss this matter with a real estate attorney in your local area. He/she can advise you in greater detail on the the inherent risks and perils you may facing.
