You are right. Adverse possession. In some states it's a lot less than ten years.
Let God handle it.
8 years.. count them please.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Already done. But guess who has the rights until final say in the courts? They do.
I assumed you meant 8 MONTHS. If it really is 8 years, if this had happened in my state the property would be his now.
Drop a whole collection of pit vipers, hornet nests, fire ants, bedbugs, coackroaches down the vent pipe of his trailer and wait a few days.
Rely on your lawyer. I guarantee he knows what is going on, and I suspect you don't want to pay him. I can also guarantee you will get nowhere here.
Are you saying you took it to a trailer Court?

But you and your mom care.
As one of the prior posts mentioned, call the Bar association, file a grievance against your prior atty, have the Bar refer you to a new atty, and go to court. I dont know what the adverse possession laws are up there, but you sure need to move quickly.
Here's another tip. Get this to a hearing ASAP, and even if some local judge screws you- APPEAL. Once you get to a higher jurisdictional court, your suit will be taken seriously, even if the local yokels dont give a hoot.
Good luck.
My post above was meant for you. Plus, I forget to mention rotten eggs...
You said land dispute.
Does this mean your Mom doesn't have clear title to the land and you aren't able to prove she owns the land? Or does she in fact have clear title and someone just decided to place a trailer on her property?
I suspect the former but you didn't provide enough detail. If so, you need a good lawyer.
If what happened in your state? You claim to understand what he is talking about? Whatever it is apparently is in court before a judge, who knows for how long.
And when the drunk mother-in-law dies in the fire? Was my property worth the death of one person? I do not think so. If you know a good lawyer send him or her my way.
Ah, the plot is getting more intesting already. The lawyer didn't do anything, but it somehow magically got in the judge's hands. Guess a bunch of gnomes snuck in and filed the case somehow. Imagine a lawyer taking credit for that!
Also, the nerve of a lawyer saying he has to let a judge make a decision. Just what are they teaching in law school these days??
I think it is a case of Trespass vi et armis in contra passim regis in quare clasuem frigit
My spelling may be off on some of these, but res ipsa loquitor, ipsi dixit and sine die
The cost of the victory party would be too high...
There is an expression in Texas: A town may be so small as to not to be able to support a lawyer, but no town is too small where it can only support one.
Invite some illegals to move in on them...they are judgment proof and will be pardoned for all sinces within thirty days after the nect election. Then they will sue the trailer owner for the permanent use of the trailer, and they will win. Then the supreme court will take it away from them and give it to a rich gringo to develope it and charge rent. That way everybody wins.
I said a controlled burn. Smoke em out, not burn the trailer!
