Eviction / Squatters in Oregon

[Jim Butterfield]

My neighbour up the street wants to sell her house. In a nut shell

she moved out, left her husband and son to live in it  - He passed, son still lives there. The house is trashed, he is locked out of the home, but living in a camper on the property. I called the cops, they know of the home from recent history. Officer said he has tennancy living there for over a year now. So an eviction is needed. Meanwhile the son invited a friend to live with him in the camper. The son is now in jail. only the friends are living there. Local sheriff said its not a criminal matter, they cant do anything without judges orders.

She still wants them off property. Any good ideas on how to remove them?

This seems to me to be the equivalent of a mobile home.  In a mobile home, if someone doesn't pay their bank for the mortgage, it is repossessed like a car, not foreclosed.  The rules are different.

If she owns the trailer, she might be legally able to hire a company to move it to a storage lot.  If the "tenants" complain, you haven't prevented them from living in it, they just have to drive to the storage lot and hope they can get in.

BTW, find another lawyer.  $7,500 is ridiculous.  I can get an eviction done for a few hundred bucks.
