My property someone signed illegal lease?
If you own the property, then you have the exclusive right to grant possession to others in the form of a lease or other rental agreement (oral or written). Anyone on your property without your authority, or under license from someone without authority, is a trespasser and can be summarily removed. If you do nothing, the trespasser may eventually claim that you have lost the right to remove them, and thus trigger issues of "adverse possession", meaning you could lose the ownership of the property. You should contact an attorney in your area to discuss the specific facts and local laws as may relate to your situation, but you should do it quickly.

Depends on the situation. Some states allow you to pay the taxes on abandoned properties for up to five years, and in in some states it's up to 7 years, if and when you have occupied the property and have actually been paying the taxes and it hasn't been claimed by anybody else. But, just because you decided to become a squatter and have not done anything legally, such as paying the taxes for the property, does not give you the right to claim a property as your own. Check with your state's laws.
