They can ask, and even sue, for the property back but it’s not a guarantee that they’ll win.

They're guaranteed to win if the person they're suing can't afford to live for years embroiled in litigation.

Unfortunately yea, our legal system basically exists for the wealthy to exert control over the rest of the country. Not much can be done in that situation

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Often companies will pretend they can drag out a case for years when they can't, and simply hope no one calls their bluff.
