So you had an agreement with the owner then failed to make payments and now want to try to get something for nothing. No you cannot not. An agreement does not have to be written to be valid.

No. If you paid rent then you were using the property with the owner's permission. You can't claim adverse possession if you have permission to use the property.

Can a family member of the deceased evict you from the property you've shared with your wife of 15 years in Arkansas?

If said family member is the executor of the deceased estate and your name does not appear on the deed to the property then yes you may be evicted...If said family member is the sole inheritor of the property via the will of the deceased and there are no special exceptions in the will concerning the living spouse of the deceased then you can be evicted once the property deed is legally transfered.Added: If you are a spouse excluded from the will, you may be able to inherit under a law known as "years support." You should contact an attorney in your state that practices Wills and Estates to inquire about your options.Additional: If you are occupying the property under the terms of a lease or contract, the estate of the deceased MUST honor the provisions of the lease - however - when it expires, the estate/heirs are under no obligation to renew it.If such a lease/contract exists and the estate wishes to evict you from the property prior to its expiration date, the estate/Executor in doing so, must comply with whatever landlord/tenant law may exist in your state.

Can you claim a claim of right to a property if you were living on the property without a lease by agreement of the homeowner?

No. "by agreement of the property owner" are the key words here. Even though there was no written lease, you had the oral permission of the property owner to use the property. Therefore, you use of the property was not hostile, and fails the third prong of the adverse possession test. (MUENCH v. OXLEY, 90 Wn.2d 637 (provides that a person claiming adverse possession must use the property without the owner's permission)).

My property someone signed illegal lease?

If you own the property, then you have the exclusive right to grant possession to others in the form of a lease or other rental agreement (oral or written). Anyone on your property without your authority, or under license from someone without authority, is a trespasser and can be summarily removed. If you do nothing, the trespasser may eventually claim that you have lost the right to remove them, and thus trigger issues of "adverse possession", meaning you could lose the ownership of the property. You should contact an attorney in your area to discuss the specific facts and local laws as may relate to your situation, but you should do it quickly.

Your irrigation system encroaches on your neighbors property he knows this and says its ok but does not want one of your heirs or sucessors to be able to say the property is now theirs?

Adverse possession must be "hostile." If the neighbor grants permission, then the possession is not hostile. A good way to resolve this is for you neighbor to lease the irrigation right to you for $1 a year or something like that. The neighbor can put this lease into writing, and you can pay 100 years (or whatever) in advance. As long as the neighbor does not lose his copy of the lease, he has redress against your heirs attempting to claim the property is theirs. Use a standard lease agreement (specific to your state) if you do this - they have all the legalisms worked out in advance. See a lawyer for more info.
