Not sure about the laws in Alabama, but in Florida, if they don't move out on their own free will, you'll have to hire an attorney who files a motion with the county court to obtain a "writ of possession", which you then take down to the local sheriff's office to get the eviction.

Yes, its called "adverse possession". 

If they don't, you can pursue possession. 

Again, receiving possession of the originals gives priority to the holder over other claimants, if they arise.  

That would result in the house either being sold at auction (in which case you would be paid what you're owed) or you taking possession of the house (if nobody bids.)

He has a DUI and Possession charge that came from the same traffic stop.

The property is the owner's possession and it is what is. 

Long story short, we didn't get possession of this unit until mid-July and it took til Aug1st to get it relisted since we had to repaint and recarpet.

i have an interesting question for anyone who can educate me on this. here is the scenario:i have found a " zombie house". owner moved out when the bank started foreclosure. the bank is not maintaining the property and has not completed the foreclosure process and taken title. the house is in disrepair and i am thinking the bank does not want to foreclose and take possession because the place is no where near the amount of money they would need to get out of it. my question. if i were to purchase the legal owners intrest in the house, could i push a foreclosure on the house and force the bank to act, or not act on their intrest?

Knowing what an idea doctrine is, ie - no standing, adverse possession, fraud, etc and having or being able to work through it to preserve capital is two different ideas.
