Q: Hello, I have property that I own. A friend of mine put a trailer on the one piece of land. He died in November of 2016
His son has left the trailer on my land since then, said he was going to move it, cleaned out everything he wanted from the trailer, including the wiring and copper pipes, and made a huge mess outside. Someone broke into the trailer in November of 2017, the son wasn't back until May of 2018, so animals got into the home, he is blaming me for breaking in and suing me for 8000. Can he win? I would think since he didn't move it for almost 2 years and I told him over and over to move it that it is technically my property.
A: He will have a hard time winning unless you agreed or have a written agreement to secure the trailer home for him.
