Thank you for providing an interesting topic here. Actually, I remember this sensational issue! In the summertime of 2011, a Texas man rose to infamy with the adverse possession of a $330,000 estate in Flower Mound, Texas. The courts, however, have decided that Kenneth Robinson's adverse possession is not lawful, and he has been evicted. Check this out: Courts are kicking adverse possession practitioners out of homes. Indeed, the said possession is a form of squatting, which is trespassing. That is the reason why the endeavor called adverse possession, has been quashed by numerous court decisions. Now, I am wondering, will Mr. Robinson give up or will he fight some more?

"Squatters" Evicted From $386,000 Flower Mound House
http://www.candysdirt.com/2012/02/22/squatters-affect-property-value-collin-county-da/ Basically someone tried this EXACT same thing in a neighborhood across the street from this guy. I dont know if this woman is stupid or just ignorant. Meaning its possible that she assumed her husband had taken care of it. But she and her 3 children were evicted after her husband was arrested for unrelated charges. She thinks that because she paid for utilities and landscaping that means she owns the house, yet cant actually proved she paid for the house herself. What Im curious about is how did these people get keys to a house they dont rent/own? |

Apparently the husband was a friend of the $16 guy. Not sure why the proper paperwork wasnt filed. Still, even if it was, someone bought the house. Foreclosed or not, someone still owned it. The adverse possession law works when no one really owns it as the owner walked away. First guy got evicted because the bank owned it, and wised up. These people got evicted because someone bought the house, meaning someone clearly owned it, even if it was foreclosed on. |
