There's a reason Bill Gates is the largest owner of farmland, and I suspect it has less to do with wanting everyone to go vegetarian, and more to do with the land itself holding value in a way no other asset can in an economic collapse.

He has too much land to control. All that's needed is to simply ignore the deeds, at that point, and they cannot be enforced. Then a few years later, he dies, and all is forgotten.
In the case of a full collapse, sure, you're right.
I don't really expect mad max level anarchy, we won't be so lucky. I expect a half-collapsed monstrosity of a government smothering its people rather than having the decency to die gracefully.
