What is the name of your state? Oregon.

This situation is unbelievable. My 80-year-old grandmother has been in her home since 1959 and owns it free and clear. She has a will which says that when she dies everything in the home and the house itself are to be sold and the money split between my mother and my aunt, with the exception of the things already agreed upon (knick knacks and such to different people). My mom happens to be the executor of the will and has power of attorney should anything happen to my grandma.

Here's where things go wrong for me: my aunt and uncle have taken in a firend's child and are not supposed to have her because they are in low-income housing and it is supposed to just be them. The housing authority wants to move them into a housing park and a one-bedroom house because they think it is just the two of them, where my autn and uncle say they don't want to live because they don't like the people (whom they don't even know yet). They have convinced my grandma that they can pull a 24-foot trailer up to the side of her house and only go inside to cook, do laundry, use the bathroom and shower, watch tv, use the phone.. everything basically. And my grandma has fallen for it. These people are lazy and only want her to die so they can try to keep the house. They've driven her out of her house once before by moving in and making her crazy enough to let them stay in the house while she rented an apartment and kept paying on the house!

Here's my question: my husband said that there is something called squatter's rights in Oregon that may allow these lazy bums to keep the house and its contents. Is this true? I wonder how much of my grandma's things will disappear before my mom can sell them to split the profit. Trust me, these people have stolen from my grandma before and are not above doing it when she dies. I had a long talk with my grandma about this last night and they are supposed to be moving over to the house in a couple of weeks to a month. Can someone please help me quickly so I can tell her exactly what's going to happen to her? Thanks.
