Fast forward, old dude who speaks only French got the 2 acres thru some sort of "squatters rights" law.
It's called acquisitive prescription and it's a tenet of Louisiana property law.
As to the OP: I've got/heard a lot but probably the best comes from my FiL whose company was drilling a well on some rural land. When the drilling rigs came through the property they were greeted by a militia of cousins with shotguns who said the rig wasn't passing through unless they got paid. Turns out these were the cousins who had sold their mineral rights. Just to keep the rest of the family happy my FiL went out there with some cash

I let a neighbor use about an acre of land that my driveway runs through but is close to his house. He cuts it and maintains it and throws parties on it. Am I setting myself up for failure? Or am I safe?
