Notice of Claim of Adverse Interest by Possessor of Real Property Who is Claiming through Other Adverse Predecessors - Squatters Rights

Adverse possession is a means by which someone may acquire title to the land of another through certain acts over a defined period of time. Such acts must continue uninterrupted for the time period defined by state laws, which vary by state. In general, the acts of possession must be overt, hostile, exclusive, uninterrupted, and under a claim of right, so as to give the owner or others claiming entitlement to possession notice and an opportunity to counter the adverse possession. One adverse possessor may pass along continuous possession to another adverse possessor until the adverse possession period is complete. This is known as tacking.
