Well, your choices are pretty clear: either you evict him or you let him live there for free. If I was in your shoes, I'd bite the bullet and start the eviction process. When he gets served with a notice to appear in court, it's going to get his attention and he just might come around.
Be aware that no judge wants to evict a 78 year old renter. So there's a distinct possibility your uninvited tenant will convince the judge he's entitled to stay in the house rent-free. But if that happens, you're no worse off than you are right now with a squatter living for free in your house.
Also, I would ask for something closer to fair-market rent. If he's too cheap to reimburse you for taxes on the place, it's a fair bet he's not spending a nickle fixing anything.
By the way, you're incorrect when you say he has "zero" rights to stay in the house. By living in the house, he has "possessory" rights to the property. That's why you have to go through eviction proceedings, rather than simply call up the sheriff and have him thrown out.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
