Adverse Possession
Adverse possession is the taking of title to real estate by possessing it for a certain period of time. Title means ownership of real estate. The person claiming title to real estate by adverse possession must have actual possession of it that is open, notorious, exclusive and adverse to the claims of other persons to the title. By its very nature, a claim of adverse possession is hostile to the claims of other persons. It cannot be hidden but must be open and notorious in order to put other persons on notice as to one�s claim for possession of the real estate.
South Carolina: In South Carolina, the duration of such possession is twenty (20) years. South Carolina Code �15-67-210 through 260
