Acquisitive presciption for a piece of property without a deed even if in bad faith is 30 years--that is, if you possess the property without a deed, and without interruption for 30 years, then you can claim ownership of it.......

If you have a deed that gives you the property by mistake and you possess it then the prescriptive period is 10 years....see Civil Code Articles 3473 through 3488..
