Pasco county Florida. Ann owned 2 acres (X & Y). Some 10+ years ago she took 1 acre (X) and put her daughter Mary as co-owner. Mary & then husband Bill put a house on it. Ann put a house on the other acre (Y) and put a line from the well located on (X). She also used the drive-way located on (X). The agreement was that Ann did not have to pay the taxes on her share of (X), use the water & drive-way. Now Mary is divorced from Bill & lives with boyfriend (Bob) for about 2 years now. Bob now wants Ann to pay 1/2 the taxes which Ann is refusing to do. He states he is now a co-owner of (X) through "Squatters" rights. He is blocking the drive-way to Ann and is now threatening to cut off the water line to (Y). Bill has said he will attest to the original agreement but nothing is in writing. What rights do Ann have? What rights do Bob have? Thanks

This kind of sounds like a homework question. But I'll take the chance that it's not. Bob has no rights at all. Squatter's rights no longer exist since they have been replaced by the law of adverse possession. Bob does not qualify as an adverse possessor. Ann has full rights to the well and driveway since she is a co-owner of X. Only Mary has the right to sue Ann for payment of one-half of the taxes for X.
