How do I protect myself legally with inlaws staying on property?

Question

I live on 5.5 acres and made a site for my inlaws to stay in thier 40 foot 5th wheel trailer over the Summer months.
Since they started doing this they had a shed built at the site and I installed a trench with water, Sat TV, Electricity hookups etc. My inlaws can be difficult and I invision having to ask them to leave someday. What are my legal concerns as far as the Shed, Car port etc and how do I protect myself if that happens? The paid for these items, but it is al on my property. I let them set this up, but there is ZERO in writing.
I just dont want to find out that I cant legally tell them to leave if things get problematic. Would I legally own this stuff if my house was appraised with it al in place?

Answer 1

There is not much that they can do with it. If they do have to leave, and what they cannot take with them has to stay. As for the shed and so forth, they had it built on your property. Even though they paid for it, it is now part of your property. So it is yours. It was built for them to use while they were there. You can legally have them leave at any time as long as their name is not on your property deeds. You will have to give them like 30 days to move their things off of your property, but they will still have to leave. If they are part owners of the property, then they will not have to leave.

Answer 2

Although they are related to you, it does not change the law. You would need to give them notice to have them evicted. The shed would probably be a part of the property now but, it could end up in a court fight. Over the years I have learned that relatives and friends are the first ones to take advantage of you. I now get everything in writing.

Answer 3

I have not read your full paragraph but I only suggest you to honour the decision of elders and respect them in all manner.
Man cannot give you any thing pray to God that mighty power will fulfil your every desire.
