You have mentioned two separate scenarios: a death and a quitclaim deed If the property owner has died you should be given a reasonable amount of time and you may have rights under your state laws. Look for a landlord tenant agency in your area and inquire about your legal right to notice. Also, you should contact the court appointed executor of the estate If the property owner quitclaimed the property prior to death then you may have no right to any time period.
YOu may need to move immediately You may need to contact an attorney or provide more details on the discussion page.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
