I thought "adverse" meant you had to be told not to use the property, but used it anyway. Not simply using it.
This law is difficult to understand and is often interpreted differently.

 

[Goodpasture]

It must simply be "notorious" not that you don't have permission. In fact, had the former owner filed a suit at any time ordering the judge from using the land, that would have killed the adverse possession suit. If you have land that is being used as a roadway for someone else, the same rules apply. You are far better off leasing the right of way for $1.00 per year. That changes it from a prescriptive easement to a lease and they cannot come back later and claim ownership or a perpetual right to use it.

You will most often find adverse possession at the rear of lots or side yards of urban lots where the one party has used a foot or two of their neighbors land for a garden or driveway. If the boundaries are unclear and a survey in the future discovers the mistake, if it is past the 18 year usage period, the user can file on and own the property.

We have adverse within our boundaries not much 12 or 15000 acres. People who for one reason or the other do not want to lease to the ranch but do want to complain when the cattle are on there little 20 acre piece eating their yards and drinking from the wild animal waters the goofballs put out. Quit putting my phone number out so they would quit calling.
