Speaking of Boca squatters…this one brought horses
Boca Raton squatter Andre De Paula Barbosa isn’t the first to move into a posh mansion that he doesn’t own, and the ejection lawsuit filed to remove him may not be the fastest exit.
Back in 2009 when the real estate market was in full crumble, a client of attorney Dan Kaskel found a woman and her horses living in his 6,800-square-foot vacation home in the high-end community of Horseshoe Acres in unincorporated Boca Raton.
The neighborhood of multi-million dollar estates is home to tennis star Chris Evert.
The squatter didn’t claim adverse possession _ the Florida law Barbosa is using to stake his claim _ but she falsely told law enforcement officers that she had a lease, which made them hesitant to toss her out, Kaskel said.
While Kaskel’s client was in foreclosure, the woman, and her horses, still had no permission to be in the home.
Rest here…
