Re: Adverse Possession by EKU College in Kentucky

Based on the facts you have presented, you very well may have a case for adverse possession and may be able to obtain an injunction to halt this. Most of the elements appear to be present. However, you really need to go to a lawyer right away with every document you have that might pertain to this and invest in a consultation.
