I read the article. I like the idea of showing up with Vinny and a few guys with bats encouraging a hasty retreat.Squatters Rights: A State-by-State Guide
Squatters rights making you worried? Here's what property owners need to know about in each state. Not to miss!
Yeah, well, states being whatever, red, blue, upside down, or right side up has not caused, nor brought about this type bad thing to be happening. It has been around for a very long, long time. That is FACT. And tried to be used more years ago, than it is now. Different states have different laws about everything, and every issue. People need to be aware, and pay attention to whats going on that concerns them. Be responsible for what's yours! As it's not someone else's job!. Excuses are cheap, they don't work, and generally indicate being too late! Good luck, and always remember we don't live in a False Reality Fantasy Land. Wishful thinking is just that, Wishful, not Fact,
You are correct, it happens everywhere. My point was certain states tend to make is easier for squatters vs the owners. I think why were are seeing it more is just like everything there are more cameras and people sharing that information now. Ironically I think those same cameras keep people from handling it themselves.
Perhaps so, but you, as is everyone, are to be responsible for yourself, your belongings, and your property. No one is going to do it for you. And I wouldn't rely, or trust them anyway. As they could try squatting on your property that they are so called watching, eh! Like what happened to us,, 4 generation family friends, but not anymore! Like the military says, pay attention to your surroundings, your life may very well depend on it!
You had family friends do this to you? Wow... Bad enough for it to happen. Even worse when it should be someone you think you can trust.
Yeah, I had a long time tenant on the farm, with a 1 year, annual renewable lease. In other words it had to be renewed every year. As well as we always gave him the Registered mail legal notice also. Our families were very close friends for 4 generations. We always stated that any up coming year may be the last, as when our son decided he wanted to farm the farm he would. We actually gave him final notice 2 years in advance, ahead of time. He had let his son have a garden on part of one of the farm fields under the lease. After his final crop, the tenant became bitter about my son going to farm it instead of him. The next thing to come was my wife opened the mail one day and one of the envelopes contained a letter from a well known, and disliked Attorney stating that my prior tenants son had laid a squatters claim to the area where he had been gardening. Say what? He told us we could not contact the person placing the claim. Yeah, well, FU, eh! Naturally the legal fees started. Our Attorney immediately filed suit there of. Wasted time later, the Squatters claim was worthless, and trash canned. The documented lease, my survey, good records, and good sense prevailed. Having a good Attorney is absolutely adamant! Also having very good and Accurate records! Always! The survey on that same farm prevailed in us keeping our easement through someone else's property to access our landlocked back field. My grandfathers, grandfather was wise enough back in the early 1880's to establish, and secure a Prescriptive Easement. Done deal! I'm fortunate as my family for many generations has always kept good, accurate records. As in they had their --- together, eh!
Ha, ha, ha! Yeah, well, as be careful what you ask for! Such as my father always said, "There are far more disappointments in life than there are satisfactions", eh. Good luck to you, and Always be prepared, just as the Boy Scouts say.
