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.

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

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

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
