When you mean "squatted" - you mean that you (or someone) let the domain expire and forgot the registration fee.
That's not "squatting" or stealing. You just forgot to renew it or have a backup card on file or transfer the domain after his death.
You make it sound like someone came in and stole it when the onus is technically on you to maintain control of this domain. You can register a domain for multiple years if the domain is important in case of an unexpected accident (or death).

The problem is that after that, it was sold to a third party, not the registrar, who listed it for an exorbitant price. They have no interest in the domain other than selling it to us, and it has little to no value to anyone else.
