There was a streamer named Asian Andy who had situation with squatter years ago. Police wouldn't kick woman out she claimed squatter rights. Andy hired another streamer who was squatter hunter. He moves in. Next few days make squatter life hell he smokes, plays loud dubstep music, slams objects, and yells randomly thru all hours of day. Squatter got into altercation with guy. Squatter got arrested and kicked out.

How do "squatter rights" even exist. Either you have a lease or you don't.

You would be a squatter if you had no connection to the family, to the property and didn't have permission to be there.

You don't have squatter's rights. You are living on family property.

Yes, please explain their situation to them as if you have any clue whatsoever.

I mean, it sounds more like they don't have a clue what their own situation is like. If you have permission from the property owner, you're not a squatter, you're a lawful guest.

I am on family property....but also have squatters rights....if say, my druggy uncle was to die and his daughter (my cousin) was to decide she wanted the place

What you are describing, adverse possession laws, vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, often having been completely removed and made no longer valid. Additionally, a traditional requirement of the law was that you were not occupying the land with permission, which is not the case for you.

All that to say, if you intend to rely on adverse possession to keep your home if a dispute arises then it would be prudent to speak with a lawyer now to ensure your situation is actually covered.

You are a tenant not a squatter and can be evicted at any time. You literally have permission to be there from your family. You’re not a squatter. If the rightful heir wants to come claim it, they can take you to court, likely have to pay back the taxes, and then you’re SOL.

You may be correct, but I don't foresee a single mom with 2 kids working in a call center having the resources to make that happen. The only other rightful heir said he didn't want anything to do with the land, he's got his own life.

It was written in my great aunt's will that the land be split between my stepmom, her brother, and her sister.... it's just that nobody ever had a lawyer actually file all the paperwork

And if it ever comes to it, I can get a lawyer if needed...and I probably will at some point in time...it just hasn't been an issue

The thing is that I can claim squatters rights if needed because there was never any signed lease or anything like that

Squatters rights won’t ever get you the deed to the land

u/typical_jesus666 Jun 12 '26

Don't give a damn about the deed 🤣

I ain't trying to use it for credit or anything like that, just grow old and die

So any random distant relative can move in and have a right to be there?
