FAQ

The Legal Basis for Adverse Possession Laws Adverse possession is a legal concept that allows a trespasser—sometimes a stranger but more often a neighbor—to gain legal title over land, replacing its original owner.

The process of starting a replevin action usually begins with filing a complaint. It also requires filing an affidavit in the county or district court where the property is. The affidavit: States that the plaintiff claims rightful ownership or entitlement to possession of the property.

Attend a court hearing: You and the squatter will have the chance to present your cases to a judge. If the judge rules in your favor, they will issue the squatter an eviction order. File the eviction order: After the ruling, you'll need to file the eviction order with your local sheriff's office.

Squatters are legally required to vacate a landlord's property upon request and must abide by eviction procedures as mandated by the court. Failure to comply means a squatter could be ticketed (though law enforcement cannot physically remove them until they're issued an eviction notice).

Ing to Anderson Advisors, squatter's rights are created largely to protect the occupants of a property from being removed by force without legal due process. They also work to reduce waste by incentivizing the rightful property owner to stay current on property taxes and make productive use of their property.

Your possession must be: Continuous, Hostile or adverse, Actual, Open, notorious, and exclusive possession of the premises, and. Under claim of title inconsistent with that of the true owner.

Through the doctrine of adverse possession, a person may acquire the land/title owned by someone else as long as they follow specific requirements. Each state has its own laws regarding squatters' rights and the length of time, between 5-20 years, they must reside on the property to claim it.

Whenever any goods or chattels have been wrongfully distrained, or otherwise wrongfully taken or are wrongfully detained, an action of replevin may be brought for the recovery of such goods or chattels, by the owner or person entitled to their possession.

If you want the specific belongings, then you would file a claim in superior court. The superior court can issue an order requiring the defendant to return your property.
