sal Guest 0.10 Dollars($)	Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 8:55 pm    Post subject: property owner & adverse possession I own 20 acres of land and have been paying taxes on it since i inherited it. I have not done anything to the property and really don't even know where it is. Do you mean that if someone has been using my land without my permission for over 10 years they could take it from me? How can that be? It's my land and I've paid taxes... if they were to keep the property could i sue for the taxes i've been paying? isnt' this stealing? _________________ Need help choosing the right loan?

I need to know in which state you reside? depending upon that I can tell you whether anyone using your land for long 10 years have the right to claim adverse possession. Meanwhile you can read through a previous discussion in the forums about adverse possession . Take Care

Hope this helps... God bless you. Samantha _________________ Know how to compare lenders with mortgage booklet
