How do I get a squatter off of my property?


The property belongs to my mother but I have a power of attorney and this lady and her family colonized my mothers property . I took her to court and the judge ordered in her favor because he said he could not determine ownership of property. Her story being that her father give a man some money for the house,( of course not my mother). We left the property vacant because of some lawful issues we were having with my brother ( nil to do with the house ). My mother let this man stay in the house ( he put an undisclosed amount down for the purchase of the house) but did not come up beside the rest of the monies owed for the down payment. So he vacated the house and now this woman said that equal man sold the house to her father , BUT HER FATHER IS A FUGITIVE OF THE LAW AND HAS FLED OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND NO, HE CAN NOT COME IN TO COURT TO TESTIFY ON HER BEHALF .HMMMM. I seriously think all except her father fleeing is a lie. I do not know what to do could someone please notify me what to do? Yes the property is in my mothers name and No, my mother never gave consent to occupy property. Please help, Frustrated
Best Answer:
Get a lawyer and do a deed rummage through.
Title search, go back to conciliator and show you own it. Then if she doesn't leave, hire thugs to drag her to the curb.
close to the first guy said also if you don't want to hire thugs just buy a good shot gun
Look in the land registry that shows legally the owner of the property! failing that a right arson attack often works then rebuild the house as you approaching it. if a deposit is paid for a purchase then teh balance is NOT remunerated then the property is NOT sold and the deposit is forfeit! get better legal representation.
If your legal representative couldn't make a case for your mom's ownership of the property last time (unless he be an idiot and getting a new atty would help) you are stuck with going back to court next to a valid title search and appealing it, or buying her out. According to the law, she's not a squatter at this point; she's at least a partial owner
There is a term surrounded by law that applies - the theory of latches. If you own a right (to rid your property of squatters) and fail to exercise that right within a reasonable time of time you lose the ability to exercise that right. Reasonable depends on the governing law, or the interpretation of the court. Notorious use of the property, with the ease of the owner, for a long period of time, can result in the owner losing some of the ownership rights. It's similar to allowing a pathway on your property to be used by hikers or bikers for a long interval of time, with no posting of "private" or closing the pathway from time to time, if none of the rights are exercised, those using the pathway can claim that it has become a public easement, and cannot be closed. Rights have to be exercised or they may be lost.
As the previous answerer said, have a title search done on the property. This should resolve who holds the work. Once that's established, you'll be able to satisfy the judge and open eviction proceedings. All the other stuff is irrelevant.
