Just read a comment that the son of Linda Sarsour's mentor was the property owner. Was this poster muddying the water? Certainly seems that there is more than meets the eye here. Sounds like wahhab, quacks like a wahib, ... Its a Saudi!

I think he owned the property next to where the childten were found

I might be wrong, but think son was squatting on property where they were found, owner tried to evict

Yes, you are correct. Morton owned a lot and the Badgers owned the lot next door Morton put his compound on the Badger's lot instead of his own. The Badgers tried to get him to switch to no avail and they went to court. Unfortunately they were rebuffed.

"Squatters rights" are "adverse possession" under the law. The NM Statute is cited above. He didn't gain possession of the property as a "squatter" if he had permission from his mother to live on the property (his possession was not adverse). Unfortunately for your friend, under N.M. property law, all transactions for the transfer of property must be in writing, so if he doesn't have any document he has a very tough uphill battle to gain title to anything. Is this on a land grant? If it is, he may be able to obtain title to some other property through the land grant board of trustees. He may have obtained an easement by acquiescence or by estoppel, allowing him to keep his trailer where it is and live there, depending upon the facts.

Squatters Rights are causing many problems across the country. Air B&B is where they are trying to steal property. Imo, this law must be tweaked or changed to protect the actual owner of the property. I forget how big that piece of land is but it is a sizeable amount. Since it was so large he may have been confused and settled on the neighbor's land instead of his own.
