Serving our clients in Western Washtenaw and the neighboring rural counties of Jackson, Lenawee, Ingham and Livingston, it is not unusual for a client to ask about a claim of title either in their own name or out of concern that it might be used against him or her. Many people have heard of the doctrine of title through adverse possession but it is often misunderstood or misquoted from a recent Perry Mason rerun
Adverse Possession is a doctrine of title wherein a person can establish title to, or "ownership" of a piece of real estate through a time period of using land that is not his or here to begin with. Whether the facts of a certain scenario amount to enough for a person to make such a claim is the subject of a long history of many court decisions that make up this body of law.
