It can be a real nightmare to get squatters out of your home once they have set up residence. If they have a good lawyer it can cost you thousands of dollars to get them out and take months.
“My house. Get out. [ka-chunk] Now.”
I’d get a good lawyer to get me off with a self defense plea.
Then I would sue their estate/family to clean the blood up.
Well, not where I live in northeast Florida. A few years ago this type of thing was tried a few times here under some 100 year old law or some such. Problem is the law does not say what they are doing is legal. Our sheriff was being interviewed by local news about it and said emphatically, “make no mistake, there is no law supporting squatting, anyone who tries this will go to jail....period”. It dropped off to zero here. So, IMO it kinda sounds to me like the cops or the states attorney’s office ain’t doin’ they’re job down there.
So a “legal homeowner” can be evicted by a bank and a SWAT patrol with a court order in a matter of minutes.
But “squatters” not making payments have a “right” to stay in a home that they stole for months while the paperwork gets processed?
Really?
Really?

What about a 9mm or a 40?...that would work.
