The Law That Lets You Legally Steal Houses
Ойын-сауық
Adverse possession, often sensationalized in media as "squatter's rights," is a legal doctrine allowing a person to claim ownership of land under certain conditions. While "squatter's rights" conjures images of individuals unlawfully taking over properties, adverse possession is a legitimate legal process rooted in common law.
The concept of adverse possession stems from the need for efficient land use and the resolution of disputes over land ownership. In essence, it allows someone who has been in continuous, open, and notorious possession of a piece of land, without the owner's permission, to eventually gain legal title to that land. The exact requirements and timeframes for adverse possession vary by jurisdiction, but typically, the possessor must occupy the land for a period ranging from 5 to 30 years.

Adverse possession is extremely difficult to perfect and is EXCEEDINGLY rare.

Capitalists are so easily scared of boogie men lol
File a quiet title and ejectment lawsuit. Proof of payment for property taxes needs to be provided to the court etc.
This is exactly what happened with my dads farmland. The homeowner bordering the farmland decided he owned it.

Greedy trustees are worse they move in and change legal documents to deprive rightful heirs of their inheritance. It happened to us so this time around we’re hiring an Empire College School of Law graduate to defend our property with a forgery proof NICER Latin Law Model Interdiction Trust with Permission Ledgers validated and certified to avoid inheritance thieves and financial elder abuse.

@@MiguelHernandez-rw4xu to be honest I'm not 100% positive. It was settled somehow through litigation but I didn't ask my dad the details because he was dying of cancer. It took thousands and thousands of dollars in attorney fees and several years to get to a resolution.
