What's your take on this — what experience or question can you share?
Adverse possession allows a person to acquire title to land they have occupied without the owner's permission for a sufficient period. But what conditions must be met? How does the law balance the interests of the paper owner against the interests of the person in occupation? How have recent legislative changes affected the ability to claim adverse possession, and do these changes differ by jurisdiction?
