Re: adverse possession of land
You did not ask a question, but I am guessing you want to know how to do this. This is a very complicated and fact-based situation, and there are a number of elements which must be met in order to claim property by adverse possession. Simply cutting a little bit of your neighbors grass every week is not adequate.
