re: Lot owner stunned to find $500K home accidentally built on her lot. Now she’s being sued

She will have the option to just enjoy her lot, now with the house on it, without being disturbed. However, the builder will likely be allowed to file a mechanics lien onthe property for the cost of the house. So, if she ever went to sell the property, that lien would have to be satisfied / paid.
How do you think a builder can justify putting a mechanics lien on the property when the builder trespassed, illegally cleared the lot, and illegally built a house?
The builder/developer don’t have a leg to stand on.

Reynolds, a relationship coach and energy healer from Concord, California, was persuaded to buy the land in Hawaiian Paradise Peak by her daughter, who lives in Hawaii. As a big believer in numerology and astrology, Reynolds said the spot was the perfect match for her plans.
“I believe in the sacredness and the sanctity of the land,” Reynolds said. “The coordinates aligned with my zodiac sign. And you could hear the ocean.”
She said she hired an attorney “well versed on the art of feminine negotiation,”
Well there you go. No other property would align with her zodiac sign. No wonder she rejected a lot swap

No chance. The developer was not acting on behalf of the property owner and wasn’t even authorized to even be on the property. Posted on 3/28/24 at 5:26 pm to Penrod

If she tries to get more aggressive than that it risks the developer offering to return the property to the pre-build condition.
To build the house they illegally trespassed onto private property, then illegally built a house on private property.
Seems pretty easy to get an injunction against them stepping foot on private property (again) to tear it down.

Well damn, now I don't know if I want her to lose the case or not. Developer is an absolute idiot and should lose his arse on it. But the owner seems like an idiot as well.
Is there a way they can both lose?

Must be a tiny house. Construction costs there are sky high.
Not tiny and overall it's nothing special for anyone. But why would we side with big development corp over private citizen today? Think a jury of Hawaii peers would?

Equity arguments can be a bitch. People are DVing Cosmo but from a practical sense, he has the right idea. Most of my pragmatic clients come out ahead most of the time the ones that go in sticking to their guns of what they see as right and wrong come out on the short end 80+% of the time.
If it were me my intentions for the lot would have a large impact on how I approached it.

Yeah for real, take your womens self healing meditative property and frick off back to California, haole.

I disagree...
I don't care how nuts she is.
Right is right and wrong is wrong..
The developer is not going to win this one.

I think he’s right. If she paid them half the cost of the house she would be in great shape. Alternatively, she could quit claim her interest for $250k.
If she tries to get more aggressive than that it risks the developer offering to return the property to the pre-build condition.
Absolute insanity .
“If she gets more aggressive “?? WTF are you talking about, all this was totally brought ONTO HER …. You cant build on someone else’s property and then dictate to them what you are willing to do.. You do what she deems to be in her best interests.. pay half, fine.. quitclaim, fine- but ONLY if that’s what she, the owner, chooses.. this is the real world, podnuh.. The developers have zero ground to stand on, pun intended.. I dont care if she believes in the fricking Flying Spaghetti Monster and wanted to make a kale farm out of the property, makes no difference … they fricked up, now she tells them what’s gonna work for her, full stop .

I had a close situation to this...in Alabama, that house is my clients.

The courts will rule that she is entitled some some modest amount of compensation and give her another vacant lot of those developers. She won’t just get a free house.

That's like the dudes on Rome / Paris etc that give you a homemade bracelet/ some thing etc and then " hey, you need to post pay man"

I would appeal to the Hawaiian Deity Oprah Winfrey.
