Doyou have a rental agreement for the land?  If not then you are probably considered a month to month tenant on the property and you will need to be give 30 days notice to vacate the premises - or land as the situation is here.  Now, the laws are generally very strict when it comes to service of the various notices and legal paperwork in landlord tenant situations.  If it is not properly done then any action to remove you could be thrown out by a court.  Is it possible that you could work out an agreement with your cousin for the time being?  Otherwise, if you are served then please get legal help.  Good luck.
