A:
Have they claimed that the land is theirs?
Have they been using a road within your property? If they have, they may arfgue that they have an easement. However it depends on the circumstances.
Have they excluded people from the land?
Have they paid the taxes for the last five years>
Are they preventing your entry into your land?
Have they posted signs that says no tresspassing Prperty of {their name}
I f they have not done any of the above. Hurry up , settle in to your land and put up a fence. Best of luck.
