Register Abandoned Trailer

Hopefully someone here has been down this road before.. So I bought a house last July (2017) from my brother-in-law. He had been living there for about 3 years. The homeowner before him had left a smallish HD utility trailer tucked in the corner behind a horse barn and moved out of state. The trailer has been sitting for probably close to 4 years now. Being that I don't have a pickup, it would be nice to use when picking up bulky items.

How can I register and legally own/use this trailer? Although it wasn't specifically stated in my closing documents, I kind of assume it's mine now?

It's not a homemade job, it has a plate riveted on with manufacture info. It also has a license plate on it, too. However, it will need some work to be road worthy (tires, jack, lights, etc).

Any advice/input is greatly appreciated, thanks!
