Re: whos house is it

Presently the house belongs to both you and your husband. However, I successfully litigated an action whereby the wife received the entire house under a theory of adverse possession. This may also qualify as a similar situation. If you want you can read the decision, cited: Lamm v. Stevenson, 276 A.D.2d 531, 716 N.Y.S.2d 576 (2000).
