Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Wisconsin

A court order is needed in order to retitle property in a land dispute, regardless of the reason, unless the owners sign off on a new deed retitling the land under an agreed settlement. A verbal ruling by a judge after a trial alone will not do it. Implementing new adverse possession titles and other deed (legal description) revisions are amazingly complex undertakings and your chances of doing it correctly yourself would be slim to none, unless you are a trained real estate professional or attorney. Land which was sold to an innocent buyer who had no knowledge of your adverse possession claim may not be recoverable from the buyer, who would is what is known as a "holder in due course," due to such a purchase. You therefore need to consult with an experienced real estate attorney.
