Adverse Possession laws - Information on the law about Adverse Possession - Requirements

I moved into a rundown house with property 2 years ago. At first, i was supposed to pay rent, but upon moving in, there was no air, heat, bathroom sink, toilet, and the water heater was not working. The yard and property was overrun with brush 6 feet tall! It was agreed that I could stay here as long as I improve the property. In 2 years, I have cleared all brush from the house, instsalled a new toilet and bathroom sink, added heat, and a new water heater. I also have paid the property taxes to the owner. Now that all is cleaned up, they are wanting to throw me out because im not paying rent! can they do this? there was nothing legal drawn up concerning renting or improving this property it was all word of mouth. Can I stake claim to this house and property?

I PURCHASE A HOUSE, LIVED THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH ONE SIDE OF THE YARD PARTLY FENCED IN . . . IN AN L SHAPE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOUSE

LATER I HAD THE YARD SERVAYED TO FIND THAT THE L SHAPE WAS TOO FAR OVER IN MY BCKYARD, AN THE SERVAYE

STAKES ARE STRAIGHT. I HAD TO GO TO COURT AND IT TOOK ABOUT 3 YEARS FOR ME TO GET MY LAND BECAUSE MY NEIGHBORS HAD LIVED THERE SINCE ABOUT 1958 AND I MOVED THERE IN 2000, CLAIMED ADVERSE POSESSION BUT HAD NEVER PAID ANY TAXES SO I WON AND THEY HAD TO TEAR DOWN THEIR SHED AND FENCE . . . I PUT A FENCE UP AFTER I WON. THEY ONLY LOST BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT PAID TAXES FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS ADVERSE POSSESSION

SAYS YOU MUST PAY TAXES.

My wife teresa got this lane 15 years ago,We was going to put up a fen,we had a surveyor come out and show us the pins are,I see that we owne the rood,but the nabor said we did not owne the rood,so thay had a

3 surveyor to come out and put rods in are yard,thay took 20 feet.

But are map said we owne the rood.So now thay cut some of my trees down.

Family Affairs. Mother inherited the house. Her sister wanted to move in. Mother said yes, as long as you pay the taxes. Sister paid the taxes, but given Mother the check, Mother made payment with check. Later, sister tried to get the house by saying she should have the house and that one of the parent wanted her to have it (but the house was willed to Mother). Sister took Mother to court, Mother won. Sister appealed, Mother won the appeal. Mother was in the process of removing sister out the house. Sister, realize what was going on, brother in law of sister, who work in the tax office, advised sister to file adverse poss. Mother kept the insurance on the house, filed eviction notices. Mother is now decease, sister filed adverse possession, Mother's children went to court and we lost. We are in the possess of appealing. How did she win?

We live in Indiana. My husband and 2 siblings inherited 80 acres. we moved onto the land and made many improvments on house and utilities. paid all the taxes for last 15 yrs, we have lived on this property for 11 yrs. we have taken care of the fields and mowing. his brother comes and hunts deer couple times a year. but other then that we don't see either of his siblings. can we and how would we go about adverse posesion for this property?

So this seems interesting even found a hoise to squat in i live in mn what is the disability lifted do i do this after the 15 yrs or is this a speedier way to own the property

live in home over 25 years my
mother died and now family is trying to take .

I have owned a piece of property (slightly under 3 acres) in New Mexico for 23 years. At the time of purchase, I was shown the land and it was completely fenced and most likely fenced for at least 25 years before I purchased it. I have never altered the fence line in any way. I purchased the property from one of the sons of the deceased property owner. 2 of the 6 surviving children are adamant about this 7/100th of an acre. I feel I bought to the existing fence property line, and for the past 23 years no one has even mentioned it not being my property

Now, 23 years later the property owner has died and the estate is claiming 7/100th of an acre on my side of the fence. It is pie shaped and 9 feet long at one end and terminates at 0. I do not want to engaged in a lawsuit, but I feel I have owned the land and used it for the past 23 years. All members of the family, dead or alive have witnessed my use of the land over the 23 years. Do I have a strong case? My attorney says yes. What do you think?

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:



I, in fact, found this information to be much more helpful than other pages I visited in my action to pursue a claim of adverse posssesion of property abutting my commercial land in Michigan.

TVA bought 5 acres fron a farm in 1997 for a possible railway line, which they never built. The owner of the far has a tenant who grazes cattle, and mows and gathers hay from his farm, and the adjacent 5 acres. Doesn't appear any TVA perseonnel has come by to check on property, perhaps since it was purchased 13 years ago.



Does farm owner have adverse possession because his "tenant" has ket up and worked that 5 cres, and present owner does nothing on it?

This helps explain things for me. I have property in Alabama where a fence was nailed to trees over my line. I've paid taxes on it for over 10 years. I have two surveys from today and 1995 that show the boundaries and a well established Qtr Section Line.

Installing a chain link fence between properties. Not sure where our property lines are but have an idea. Did not have a survey done. Cost factor, up to $1000.00. Laid out a string line on both sides and both property owners agreed on the placement of the fence between the properties. With this agreement between property owners, will this be enough if a survey is done in the future to avoid removing parts or all of the fence installed?

Thanks for your help.

I have noticed numerous buildings which appear abonded for more than a decade; some in DC and MD.

Would like to know how to go about starting the process.

I downloaded a document that I believe will help, though I have not printed it as of yet.
