@Mark Pedroza This particular property happens to be located in AZ - what happens typically in the process if that "someone" doesn't happen to petition the court for that proper representation?

@Christopher Smith - I'm not aware of any legal easements in place for it but that would be easier for access to get it cleaned up if so. I pay for the electrical now that I purchased the property that has the building and the panel the line runs from. The adjacent property has no infrastructure in place with the exception of my line running to it, as far as I know. 

Thanks @Matthew Paul - yeah, seems like that will be the best option at the moment. 

Thanks @Will Fraser - I figured the electrical would have to go that route ultimately. Hah- I like the "deep creep" concept. I'm not quite sure I've gotten there yet but I'll keep that card in my back pocket if I'm not getting any results with it. I'll try to dig into that probate process to see if that sheds any light. Thanks for the response!

Recently purchased a bank owned foreclosure with an existing distressed duplex that I will rehab. After closing on the property, I have detected a 30 amp line running from my electrical property to the adjacent parcel that has a single outlet hooked up to it (perhaps for a RV). The adjacent parcel is owned by the same individual that had previously owned the distressed property that I purchased from the bank. This adjacent parcel is small and undeveloped that currently has junk/vehicles scattered across it. Upon further research, the listed owner for that parcel is deceased. Found her son on social media hoping he is actively managing the property but have received no responses after attempting to contact. Contacting the County has been of no help for further ownership clarification. 

The ultimate goal was to try to get this parcel cleaned up, even at my expense if necessary, to not be a visual deterrent for future, potential tenants. After discovering this shared electrical line running from my panel and besides just cutting/removing the line at my boundary, I am wondering what my rights are as the owner now and if anyone has come across similar scenarios? And, also how one would track down the actual owner so I may discuss cleaning up or even potentially purchasing the parcel? The deceased owner had obviously used both parcels as if it were one. Any solutions or guidance to clarify options would be greatly appreciated!
