Answer
My best advise is "LAWYER UP"


Sorry but that is what is needed to help resolve this issue...  There are a bunch of issues here and depending on what state you are in, certain laws apply regarding your rights and such.

And the property is protected in some states and not in others.


Wish I could help but the lawyer is the way to go.
