There was a time, not too long ago that Mobile Home Dealers offered trade in value for homes. Basically, this was just a gimic and the trade in price was factored into the new home purchased. In reality, these old home do not have significant value and are either taken out of the country or destroyed. If you really like your location and want a new home placed there then go for it, however, you can almost always sell your home for more if it stays in its current space. Once sold, you can put a brand new home on another vacant lot in your park or in another park that you like.

That could be a big problem for your heirs. When you die as the only person on Title, they are left with issues that could easily be avoided. For example, they first have to wait 40 days to leave time for all the heirs who might think they are owed something to make themselves known. When all the heirs are known, they all have to agree on when, how and for how much to sell the home. The people you most wanted to have access to the house may not get anything. All this can be avoided by 1) Adding a family member who you trust to the title or 2) If you are the only one on title, you can add another person as a Transfer on Death Beneficiary. This second option is easier and faster and serves the same purpose. Please make sure to discuss these options with a qualified attorney or escrow agent first.
