2. Sally Smith owns three acres of woodland property in a remote suburb of Gainesville. She plans to build her retirement home on the property someday in the future. One day, when she drives out to look at the property, she notices that someone has built a small log cabin on the property, on a small clearing. There is also a mailbox by the side of the road and a newspaper delivery box.

When Sally gets down from her car to inquire about the situation of a neighbor, she learns that the family has been living on the property for quite some time. In fact, the neighbor believes the family is the owner of the property.

Sally has approached your firm for representation in ousting the interlopers from the property. The partner has assigned the case to you to investigate what Sally can do in this case.

In formulating a response, what do you need to learn and what issues do you need to resolve?
