Dilumpuhkannya kelompok Koresh memberikan kesempatan kepada yang lain-lainnya untuk mempertikaikan penguasaan mereka atas lahan di Mt. Carmel. Dalam beberapa bulan, [[Amo Bishop Roden]], bekas istri George, pindah ke tanah itu untuk mulai mendudukinya sendirian. Charles Pace, yang memimpin sebuah kelompok non-Koresh, bergabung dalam perebutan lahan tersebut pada 1994.
Kebanyakan orang yang bertahan hidup dan pendukung mengakui Clive Doyle sebagai anggota pengurus organisasi itu dan sebagai orang yang dipercayai lahan tersebut. Renos Avraam, salah seorang anggota Ranting Daud yang dipenjarakan telah menaytakan bahwa ia telah menerima sebuah terang nubuat baru, sebagai “Bejana Pilihan dari Pengantin yang Tersisa.” Namun, kebanyakan orang yang tersisa menentang faksi “Manna Tersembunyi”nya.
Pada 1996, penagdilan memutuskan bahwa tanah itu adalah milik Gereja Advent Hari Ketujuh, Ranting Daud. Namun, pengadilan hingga saat ini menolak untuk memutuskan siapa yang sesungguhnya berhak mewakili “gereja” itu.
<!--Also in 1996, a number of Koresh's remaining followers filed an [[civil action|action]] to [[quiet title]] to the church's property under a claim of [[adverse possession]]. Adverse possession requires that the claimant file it against a party that holds [[Title owner|title]] to the property. However, they filed this suit claiming to be the "Trustees" of the church, while contradictorily claiming they possessed the property adversely against the Trustees of the Church.
Another non-Koresh Branch Davidian leader, Doug Mitchell, joined the case in 1998. Mitchell contends that when Koresh left Mt. Carmel in 1984, he adopted the name "''Davidian Branch Davidian Seventh Day Adventist''" for his followers, thus "leaving" the church, forfeiting their claim to be the true Branch Davidians. During the pre-trial proceedings, Mitchell's attempts to obtain an injunction against Koresh's remaining followers that would have prohibited them from using the church's name and property was dismissed for "lack of jurisdiction". Judge Alan Mayfield felt that the matter involved church issues which the court could not rightly consider.
Because of the way the government has been portrayed as having acted in the 1993 standoff, the Koresh survivors have received much sympathy and support from various people and groups who felt that the actions that the government took were wrong. This support has provided them with the means to further their assumption of the church's identity and property, to the detriment of those Branch Davidian Seventh Day Adventists who opposed Koresh. The opponents cannot rightly use the property without conflicts with the survivors and others who are antagonistic or indifferent to their claims. They also labor under the notoriety that Koresh and his followers have brought upon the Branch Davidian name.
A new chapel has been built by the survivors and their supporters near the site of the original complex. The ruins of the old building, including the tornado shelter and incomplete swimming pool, can be seen by visitors. There are also several memorials to the victims - both the Davidian victims, and the Federal Agents who lost their lives. Memorial trees with plaques with the name of each Davidian who perished have been planted on the property. Finally, to show their deep sympathy to the victims of the [[Oklahoma City bombing]], a memorial has been erected at Mt. Carmel for them as well. -->

Hal ini membuat kelompok Pace menguasai Mt. Carmel. Pace telah menolak penanaman sekumpulan pohon peringatan dan menyebutkan sebagai kebiasaan kafir. Kelompoknya juga telah menebang pohon David Koresh, dan menghancurkan plakatnya, untuk mencegah kemungkinan digunakan sebagai berhala. Mereka juga telah menyingkirkan plakat-plakat dari pohon-pohon lain, dengan rencana untuk mengikutsertakan batu-batunya ke dalam bagian dari peringatan mereka yang tewas. Sementara itu, mereka yang selamat menyimpan harapan untuk mengklaim kembali properti itu.
