Are you familiar with the "squatter's rights" in your state?

I’ve been following this story since I first heard of it on my local news & it scared the hell out of me!!! I’ve heard of it happening in other states but never considered it possible to happen in my own back yard. Do you know the squatter’s rights in your state??? IF not, I suggest you do a search of “squatter’s rights”+“your state”. Knowledge is power!!! How would you protect yourself when even the courts are against you???
