The rights and conditions for achieving adverse possession vary depending on the country. For example, there are five main conditions that the adverse possessor must follow to be successful in claiming ownership of someone else’s property.
During the process of adverse possession, the original owner can recover possession of their property through legal action. Law states that if the original owner does not exercise their rights and attempt to recover their property within a certain time period, they will lose that right, and the adverse possessor becomes the property’s owner. It is important to note that personal property can also be adversely possessed. However, the rules in such a situation are stricter and typically favor resides with the legal owner.
