Last year, I tried to explain, generally, what adverse possession was and wasn’t. I did this not because of any particular knowledge (or interest) in that area, but more because I got off on a rant about the growing number of people who thought they were going to be able to stroll into a foreclosed house and claim it as their own under "adverse possession:"
Now, let me tell you what adverse possession isn’t: it isn’t when someone else’s house goes into foreclosure and is sitting vacant, and you somehow get into the house, put your couch in the living room and declare it to be yours under adverse possession.
