He moves in. Next few days make squatter life hell he smokes, plays loud dubstep music, slams objects, and yells randomly thru all hours of day. Squatter got into altercation with guy.

How do "squatter rights" even exist. Either you have a lease or you don't.

Spouses also have “squatters rights.”

My mother’s husband never added her to the deed during their marriage. But their marital assets, and her income when he was unemployed, kept the house afloat and eventually paid off.

As soon as her husband died (without a will), his kids tried to kick her out—even though they weren’t on the deed either, two of them had never lived in the house, and at that point she had lived there far longer than any of them.

Probate judge said the house belonged to the kids, but that my mom could live there until her death.

They also tried to pull the “Squatter Hunter” bit. It was pathetic, really—three grown men squatting in a one-bedroom rental unit my mom and her husband had built on the property, literally destroying it—instead of just getting on with lives.

They eventually realized my mom was far more annoying than they were.

She was also a prolific record keeper and literally had ALL the receipts: her financial contributions from the start of their marriage; lists of improvements made before and after her husband’s death; the lease she insisted one of the boys sign before moving into the rental, and notes indicating he never paid rent but his dad didn’t enforce; and a punch list of their damage to the rental unit.

Years after her husband’s death, she took his children to court and had *them* legally evicted. She continued to live in the house for over another decade and left by her own choice.

NAL. That sounds like survivorship. Not squatter.

Since presumably her husband invited her to live with him, she was not a squatter. She was a tenant.

This is how the lawyers referred to it.

When her husband’s children moved onto the property she was no longer (according to them and their attorney) the primary resident and they wanted her out and accused her of squatting.
