You must find out who actually owns the property , from day one and then you file for what is called squatters rights under that name . Then and then only will the property become yours .after you file you also have to prove you have been there for over 30 years . A quick title as Louisiana offers does not give you actual title . It only gives you the right to get Insurance on the home you life in but you do not own the land . and will not own the land until you prove squatters rights by means of filling under the true owners names .

What law protects squatters in Florida?
Generally, in the United States squatters are trespassers and there are no laws that protect trespassers.Florida, like other states, follows a legal theory called adverse possession. The law of adverse possession evolved from English common law and under it a person could take possession of another owner's property that was lying idle, use and improve it without the owner's permission, and with continuous use eventually could acquire legal ownership.In Florida the time required to establish a valid claim of adverse possession is seven years. The trouble is that if you managed to move into property and improve it for six and a half years the owner could kick you out, keep the improvements and you would have no recourse.

Yes...it's called Adverse Possession. You have to have lived on the piece of property at least 7 years & paid the land taxes for the part you lived on. I am going through it at this time. The Supreme Courts are about to stop this law. So, if you have an issue, you better get it filed now through an attorney.Another PerspectiveThere is no such thing as squatters "rights" in the United States. Until a person has satisfied all the state requirements to perfect a claim of adverse possession, and then takes the legal steps to perfect that claim, they are considered a trespasser.
