Re: Adverse Possession (squatters rights)

For adverse possession you must have 1. continuous, 2. open and notorious, 3. actual, and 4. hostile use of the property and the possessor's subjective state of mind is irrelevant. Before you start thinking about adverse possession you should have the property record researched.
