She will have the option to just enjoy her lot, now with the house on it, without being disturbed. However, the builder will likely be allowed to file a mechanics lien onthe property for the cost of the house. So, if she ever went to sell the property, that lien would have to be satisfied / paid.

How do you think a builder can justify putting a mechanics lien on the property when the builder trespassed, illegally cleared the lot, and illegally built a house?

The builder/developer don’t have a leg to stand on.

No chance. The developer was not acting on behalf of the property owner and wasn’t even authorized to even be on the property.
