Re: Adverse Possession
Like most states, Hawaii applies common law principals of adverse possession. The person claiming property by adverse possession must show that they have possessed the property in a open, hostile, adverse manner, under a claim of right, for the period of at least 10 years (in some states) or twenty years in other states. Your question is too vague to help you much more. Feel free to contact me if you have a more detailed question about adverse possession.
