I have 20 acres that I purchased from my father. It is 90 miles from where I live. Since my father passed, I don't go there much but I plan to build and retire there. My stepbrother, who now owns my father's farm, lives on adjoining property. I had to confront him some years back for leasing my property to people with horses at $125 a head without my knowledge or permission. I told him that the property is not his property, it is not family property, it is mine and to stay off of it. When I found out, I gave the people a month to find other accomodations for their horses and charged them $125 for the month. This is the only money I got from it.
Another time a log truck trailer rolled on the curve and ended up in my field. He sold the wood and was overcharging the trucking company to repair the fence. I found out and called the trucking company. Apparently my stepbrother was representing himself as the owner of the property.
He called me the other day and said that he had my fields mowed and is selling the hay for me to help me with the property taxes because I have been umemployed for most of the year. He has $100 for me and is expecting another $140. I found out from another stepbrother today that there were actually 600-700 bails taken. He is using my property for his profit and fraudulently telling people that he is the owner or is representing me. What can I do? I put up no trespassing signs with my phone number as owner and they get torn down.
