      @@baderinwa1 the house wasn’t deeded to her. She has no legal right to it. The rightful owner is the disabled granddaughter according to the laws of intestate succession, and I’m only basing my thoughts on the video, I don’t know anything more than that. The fact that she has put in improvements does not give her any ownership rights. She claims that when she put in improvements suddenly they wanted the house back. Maybe when she was working on it they became aware that she was asserting some sort of claim on it.

If the granddaughter is in a care facility and this lady already lives there (legal or not), why not have her start paying rent? I am not suggesting she get anything other than a month to month lease where both parties agree it can be terminated at will, but at least money will be coming in. She should also be required to have renters insurance.

      Back in my college days, I tagged along with some professionals who were visiting prisoners. One prisoner was pretty pissed at the system because they knew he was up to something but couldn't prove it, so made up something else. He freely admitted to growing significant quantities of pot -- this was well before the trend of legalizing it, and it was enough under our state's laws to put him away for decades. They (the police) couldn't get any evidence for this, but they used a traffic stop as a pretext to search his car. They found two brand-new "chemistry sets" (i.e. educational kits for kids) and charged him with possession of paraphernalia. He got a lot less time for the paraphernalia charges than he would have received if they caught him with his little grow operation, but someone was happy to get a conviction. That man died in prison, so I guess their little stunt did its job. (I don't do illegal drugs myself, including pot, but our country's knee-jerk response to anything marijuana-related is ridiculous.)

    It’s really not a complicated legal issue. If there is deed for the property with one fee simple owner, who died without a will, then the property passes to his heirs, which is his disabled granddaughter. The verbal lease agreement is void because the granddaughter did not have capacity to enter into a binding contract. Even if granddaughter had capacity, a contract effecting an interest in property for longer than a year must be in writing or it is void. The squatter cannot claim her voluntary repairs or 1 year occupancy give her a right to the property. The squatter is not entitled to reimbursement for the cost of repairs unless she has proof of $200,000 in expenses and permission from the owner or that the repairs were a necessity to live in the home .

    $200k in upgrades? More like $2k or less in cheap materials. First step is to investigate this claim in court. Likely the judge will find that the $200k is a complete lie because she won't have receipts to justify anywhere close to that amount. If she lied for that and has a history of fraud that should impeach all of her self serving claims like the 'verbal lease' and her option to buy the home and she should be ordered to immediately vacate. She should also be charged with a crime. I think that would be considered 'conversion' where a person attempts to steal property through a scheme to defraud the owner.
