This sounds like an easement "by prescription", but you may be referring to "adverse possession". Can't absolutely tell based on the scanty information.
my partner and i have lived together for 11 years, we have a 10 year old child. The property is in my sole name. what are her rights as regards the property?
It depends on your location. Squatters are treated differently in different countries.Generally, in the United States, there is no such thing as squatters rights. Squatters are trespassers. A vigilant property owner can have unauthorized dwellers arrested for trespassing. If a tenant paid rent at one time and remained on the property without paying rent, the landlord can commence an eviction proceeding. If a tenant was allowed to use property without paying rent, the owner could issue a written notice if she desires that they leave the premises. There are some unusual court cases where people have claimed adverse possesion by unauthorized use of the property for a number of years. However, that's not possible in every jurisdiction. There are no codified "squatters rights". See related question link for information about adverse possession in the U. S.You should seek the advice of an attorney if someone is claiming "squatters rights" in your property.
"Squatters" are a misunderstood group. Generally, in the United States they have no rights. They are trespassers during their period of trespass. They are people who use and improve another person's land openly and without permission. If the owner allows the situation to extend for a period of years (that period varies from state to state) they can file an action for "adverse possession" and obtain title to the premises. Until they do that and succeed they have no rights. The procedure varies in different states.It sounds as though the party who maintained the property for years had someone's permission to do so. In that case they would not be considered "squatters". If they had an agreement to maintain the property while living there then they could sue the other party if they breached the agreement. However, they are using the property subject to the mortgage that the owner granted to a bank. The bank has the right to take possession of the property by a foreclosure. It can sell the property and apply the proceeds toward the unpaid balance on the mortgage.
As of 2014, squatters rights in Nevada state that squatters must reside in the home for 5 years to legal lay claim to the property. They also must pay taxes on the property for those 5 years.

If you own a real property that abutts a privately owned street and the owners of the street died over 40 years ago and no heirs have come forward to claim the street, what are your legal rights to build or subdivide the property? The city and county was given permission to use the street for public access and no property taxes were paid to the city for the use of the street.
You can certainly request that it be your share of the estate. There is no specific right to the property.
You need to consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who specializes in real estate law ASAP. She/he can review your situation and determine what your rights are under your state laws.
No. If you pay the taxes on property that belongs to another person you are considered a volunteer. It doesn't give you any rights in or to the property.
You may have legal rights if you live in state that recognizes common law marriage. If not, you have no legal rights over your partner, their property or their estate.
