Yes. In many states, adverse possession claims can be based on the actions of previous owners. However, if the adverse possession has ceased to exist for a particular time (determined by your state's statutes of limitations), then you would not have a claim.
I suggest that you talk to a real estate attorney in your area. He or she will be able to help you with your particular situation and your state's laws.

When a person builds an improvement that extends onto the property of a neighbor it is called what?
It is called encroachment. Be sure you know the boundaries of your property before opening a discussion with your neighbor. If you decide to let the neighbor use this portion of the property, be sure to get it in writing you are allowing the use. Without a written document, signed by both parties and notarized, the neighbor could eventually claim the property through adverse possession. Read up on the real estate laws for your area.
What to do when your neighbors barn is partly over property line?
Hope that you have an agreement with your neighbor that allowed this and did not require him to remove it at his expense, because if not it is possible, depending on the laws of the state where this is the situation, your neighbor may have obtained legal rights to the land immediately beneath that part of the barn, through what's called "adverse possession". If you're sure this is the case, you may still be able to get your neighbor to agree and waive adverse possession just to keep peace between you, but you'll most likely have to continue to allow the barn to stay where it is. This is a complex issue and you should consult with an attorney. Any encroachment on your property constitutes a title defect and should be resolved before you sell or refinance your property or it passes to your heirs.

How long before it considered abandonment?
You have asked a question that requires broad legal research in the laws of each state so an answer can only be provided in general terms. Abandoned real property is an issue often confused by the layperson's understanding of the term "abandoned", the legal definition and the law of real property. Generally, from a legal point of view in the United States, title to real property cannot be lost by abandonment. Generally, when real property is not transferred by deed or by a probate proceeding, court action is required to acquire legal title. In a case where a co-owner demonstrated long term non-use, failure to maintain and repair the property or failure to pay property taxes, the other owner may persuade a court to vest title in the owner who has maintained the property and paid the taxes. A town can take real property from an owner who "abandons" property by failing to pay property taxes. Once the land has been taken title can be perfected by the town by a court proceeding and the land can be sold with clear title. This is generally the fate of real property that has been abandoned by the owner. Under the doctrine of adverse possession, a person could make open and notorious use of "abandoned" property for a statutory period and then acquire title according to state laws that govern adverse possession. In Massachusetts, a claim of adverse possession would need to be perfected by a court proceeding to vest title in the claimant.

If your husband refinanced his home and then conveyed it to you then you are the owner of the property subject to the mortgage. If the mortgage isn't paid the bank can take possession of the property. If your name is on the deed as the grantee then you have a right to the use and possession of the property until you convey your interest to someone else by a quitclaim deed. If your name is on the deed WITH your husband then you own a half interest and have the right to the use and possession of the whole property.
