I think this is called ‘theft’. Or if nothing else, ‘criminal trespass’...In any case, don’t YOU try it!
Can’t you shoot home invaders?
No mention of going after the phony who sold the property, which is a criminal matter.
That says to me: Get ready for a lot more of these cases.
” They are also dealing with their mortgage company, because they are about $20,000 behind on their house payments, the last of which was made in June 2011.”
What’s the big deal as at this point in time the house will be foreclosed.
Pay up the 20k you owe the bank and maybe someone will give a damn about your plight.
Does anybody know...is a Title Committment, and Title Insurance required, to purchase real estate in Colorado?
I just don’t buy the ‘phony salesman’ part of this.
What about the deed chain of ownership? Does Colorado use the recording system for deeds?
This is just stupid.
This is why it needs to be legal to shoot somoene for criminal trespass.
I file this under Home Invasion. My solution for home invasion would be a couple bursts of 5.56 followed by some .44 magnum if they are still moving.
And if a “Christian” law firm is aiding the criminals, then that firm is not “Christian”
There’s a little problem that’s downplayed in the article. The “owners” are $20,000 behind in mortgage payments on the house and left the state when they were 2 payments behind. I’d be very interested in learning the legal ramifications of that and how it plays in in regard to the “squatters.” Any real estate attorneys around here?
The house next to me had this same thing happen. The courts did bring felony charges against those that are doing this, but we need to change State law. There need not be an eviction oder but simple arrest and removal for any squatter whereby the propertyowner will swear out a complaint that the squatters do not have lawful possesion.
It’s a home invasion. Shoot ‘em!
Why not hire arbitration from the firm of Smith & Wesson?
Even under the rules, I’ve never understood the concept of “adverse posession”.
All you have to do is enter your home with a pissed off look on your face carrying a few weapons.....at least that is how I would settle it.....

Seriously, how long does it take to hire some tough guys to go into the house and use attitude adjustment to convince the squatters to leave in a hurry?
This is one of those situations where the police and courts are of little or no help, and it can cost a fortune to resolve it that way. But a few tough guys and the squatters will be out on the street post haste, nursing some bumps and bruises.
Importantly, once they are off the property, *then* call the police to report them as trespassers, requesting that they be given written warning to not trespass again or they will be subject to arrest. This will completely change the equation, as the police will be more than happy to enforce *their own* orders.
Tent the house and fumigate it for ‘termites’.
