adverse possession (sh)




In Anglo-American property law, holding of real property (see real and personal property) with the knowledge and against the will of one who has a superior ownership interest in it.

Statutes of limitation in most U.S. states allow an adverse possessor to acquire legal title if the owner does not seek timely possession.
