My understanding of adverse possession, oh heck, let's just post the definition...bolds are within the definition, italics or colours are mine
ADVERSE POSSESSION a method of acquiring
complete title to land against all others, including the record owner, though certain acts over an
uninteruuped period of time, as prescribed by statute. For those intersted...13 Do.2d649,650;502P.2d 672, 682;226 S.W. 2d 484,486. It is usually prescribed that such
possesion must be actual, visible, open, notorious, hostile, under claim of right, definite, continous, exclusive etc..
138 So. 2d 696m699l 71 /a, 2d 318m320. The purpose of such requirements
is to give notice that such possession
is not subordinate to the claims of others.
244 P. 2d 582, 584. Possession by a
mortgagor is not generally considered to ripen into titile throught adverse possession because it is not nororious or hostile.
9 N.W. 2d 421, 426. See
hostile possession; notorious possession.
So there ya go, set up shop openly...
Just make sure you have VERY clean hands brother...VERY CLEAN hands.
Perhaps you should review thread called "Standing on the Land" sorry for lack of credit, just don't remember. (think...Palani?)
(Not you Mikah[to review that thread], but original poster, as I said, jumping in).
As Mikah seems to be referring to, and as I have taken from dictionary, adverse possession requires no "doing" except to DO it openly.
