You must find out who actually owns the property , from day one and then you file for what is called squatters rights under that name . Then and then only will the property become yours .after you file you also have to prove you have been there for over 30 years . A quick title as Louisiana offers does not give you actual title . It only gives you the right to get Insurance on the home you life in but you do not own the land . and will not own the land until you prove squatters rights by means of filling under the true owners names .
