Adverse Possession - Acquired Title

property period land

Once adverse possession is completed, the claimant has full legal title to the property. The expiration of the statutory period eliminates any CAUSE OF ACTION or liability for ejectment or trespass regarding the new owner's prior unlawful possession of the property. Once the time period is satisfied, the adverse possessor is considered the original owner of the land. He or she may use the land any way he or she sees fit provided it is lawful.

In august of 2007 the IRS liened,levied and siezed property that was in an Irrevocable Trust of which I was beneficiary. This was all done without due process. The purchaser of the land received a quitclaim deed and the Trust still has the original Deed of Trust. The purchaser registered the property in her name in care of my trust.She can't register it in her name because she doesn't have a legal title. The Trust was never implicated.They came after me as an Alter Ego. What can The Trust do to retain the Property (land)?
