Do "squatters" have rights?

Re: Do
No, he cannot lose the land simply by permitting the neighbor to run livestock on it.
A wise thing to do, however, would be to send the neighbor a certified letter explaining that the use is permissive and no rights will be gained by that use. Others not acquainted with the facts can then judge the relationship easily.
