i'm pretty sure "reverse castle doctrine" is known as a home invasion.
ummmm OP is dead if it is Alabama and he tries this. someones gonna roll up with their shotgun, yell roll tide, and he's dead.
Didn't it get like 87 likes?
It's 10 where he is.
Stealing an old woman's house? Classy.
Those beer cans crack me up. In a little circle around the couch. You should rearrange them into a Night King spiral symbol.
Lol that's not true at all. Google "finders laws"
The chances of successfully getting adverse possession are slim, but the chances of getting shot are actually pretty good between the squatter, owner, and county sheriff.
So like, go nuts OP, I'm sure this won't be a huge mistake.

The other thing is they are all in one spot, like someone cleaned them up, like someone... cares about the property!

Waiting for the Era thread about a mysterious intruder that walked in and took pictures of the owner's house.
I'm just here to add one more to the narrative that adverse possession is a thing of law school hypotheticals and it is not a practical way to get property. It is deliberately designed such that it is not a viable way for the average person to benefit from it. Indeed, adverse possession is better understood as a doctrine that exists to prevent obviously negligent landowners from retaining title over land that they no longer care to maintain.
This is a stupid plan. On top of being stupid, it's also dangerous. Don't do it.

Who wanted people to think? The person who pays the utilities and checks on the house every few weeks, which you haven't seen because you aren't there every minute of every day, or...?
You said you were going with your step brothers tonight, take more pics
Sometimes you're the castle, sometimes you're the besieging army
This is viral marketing for a new Netflix film.
A naive man thinks he can simply move into a long abandoned house and take possession....until an entity takes possession...

I don't know how I missed this. That old woman is either in a home or died and that house belongs to her children. They probably pop in every few months to maintain it, which is why the lawn is somewhat shorter, the lights are on, and the squatter beers have been rounded up.
I'm convinced this thread is a joke it has to be.
If no one notices for 30 years then the man keeps the house and the entity keeps the man.
I want to know how you think the house is getting electricity for free. That doesn't happen, someone is paying the bill, period.
I can already see checks being written for this idea.

It's not a bad thing. This place has gotten so goddamned serious and angry all the time. Needs the weird levity.
OP, this is an easy way to get killed without much repercussion. This is an easy way to pick-up pointless criminal charges. This is an easy way to get homeless right quick. You're already got evidence of one removed squatter. You don't wanna be another.

Uhh, that property doesn't look abandoned at all. The pile of beer cans is kinda hilarious, but let's be real, some people are slobs, and at least all the cans are swept together. I was expecting like trash strewn everywhere, furniture falling apart, roof missing lots of shingles, that kind of thing.
Also 5 months is not a long time. My parents are retired and spend more than half the year gone. They pay a neighbour to help look after their home while they're away. I'm guessing that's the case with this property. The "previous squatter" is probably someone who checks in occasionally and mows the lawn and such.
Edit: I think the best way to put this is: the property is unoccupied, not abandoned.

There's no way that house is abandoned, there was no dust on the floor. Unless houses in Alabama don't get dusty?
I can't imagine not taking the first logical step of this whole thing, checking your local records for ownership, and instead trespassing and risk getting shot

To late, I was first. I've been mowing the lawn of this thread for days!
I'd honestly fear for my life being in there. But if OP doesn't, I really hope we get proper documentation of how everything unfolds.
Squatting is an ethical movement and I know many people who do.
I know some who now own the abandoned properties they had lived in for years.
Too many abandoned properties lie wasted in cities, for example. We could solve so much of our homeless problem by repurposing them.

Keep it up. Have a back up plan in case the owner(s) return, otherwise treat the place well and stay as long as you can.
Please ignore people in this thread who don't have a clue about squatting.
Is not worth first checking it indeed an abandoned property before venturing in?
If it looks abandoned it likely is, for the time being at least.
If the owner returns they can ask you to leave.
Just seems very presumptuous and a bit naïve. Surely it's not difficult to do a bit of research before potentially inviting an unnecessary confrontation
How so? If OP is maintaining this abandoned home and being a good neighbor it'd be a net positive for the other home owners. Whatever bank might own the property probably fucked someone over to get the home in their possession so I can't really feel empathy towards the bankers.
