You are asking about adverse possession. Ten years is the adverse possession statute of limitations, but whether they will prevail depends upon a number of things. Did you believe the land was yours when you built the home? Have you continued to think so since? Did you occupy it exclusively and continiously? Let me know; I may be able to help you, depending on the circumstances.
