What to do if my fiance got divorced 2 years ago but his ex-wife has still not picked up her piano?
His ex has yet to come get her piano despite multiple phone calls about it. She states that she has to hire someone to move it but then never does. It’s been 2 years, and it is taking up space. What can we do to get it out of the house. Would it be considered abandoned property?

The question you ask is actually quite common in my family law work experience. In a situation such as yours I assist the client effectively to solve the problem, including the clear aim of not exposing the client to any potential liability in the resolution process. As to your question about 'abandoned property', abandoned property refers to property over which someone deliberately relinquishes all control. One example of abandoned property would be a sofa someone leaves outside at the curb, waiting for the trash hauler or whoever else may happen by wanting to remove the item.
