Maine Abandonment is a legal process under the laws of the State of Maine which allows a property owner to give up or abandon their real property, including any associated structures and improvements, without a legal transfer of ownership. The property is then considered to be owned by the State of Maine and the owner is relieved of any legal responsibility for the property. There are two types of Maine Abandonment: voluntary abandonment and involuntary abandonment. Voluntary abandonment occurs when a property owner willfully gives up their property without a court order. Involuntary abandonment occurs when a property owner is unable to maintain their property and the State of Maine takes possession of the property.
