Notorious Possession Possession

Of real property that is open, undisguised, and conspicuous to the point where such possession is generally known or recognized. See 108 S.W. 2d 489, 493. The term is used as one of the elements in defining and/or determining the existence of adverse possession, which involves a claim of right to property not by title but by possession for a statutory period of time; such possession is required to be "actual," "continuous," "notorious," and "hostile," in order that the title owner without actual notice of such possession may be legally presumed to have notice. 14 So. 805, 806. See also hostile possession.
