In NY let’s say a home owner dies and the house is vacant and the house becomes a crack den inhabited by squatters. Property goes to foreclosure sale eventually and my client buys it, with squatters. I have to evict the squatters. Squatters definitely have rights in NY and most likely all states.
It’s probably for the best anyway because you would rather have the sheriff do this dangerous work than go into one of these properties yourself

She called the police and they came out and said there was NOTHING she could do to get them out until she got a court date. Ridiculous. How does that even happen?
I told her to move back in and then wake up in the middle of night and "shoot the intruders!" .. (sort of kidding)
