No, such a verb does not exist in English. The word "ownerless" is an adjective. http://www.onelook.com/?w=ownerless&ls=a

What are you referring to? Depending on what it is you're discussing, vacant or abandoned might suffice.

A vacant or abandoned house is without an owner, as is an abandoned car. An empty house can also be without an owner.

Well, he adores something mystic, in a temple, and when the temple is collapsed, he says "Come now owner, I am ownerless."
