"Adverse possession, commonly known as "Squatters Rights", is possession of land which is open, notorious, continuous, and exclusive that commenced and continues without the owner's consent. Where such possession has occurred on Crown land, has continued for a period of twenty (20) consecutive years or more prior to January 1, 1977, and has remained continuous since that date to the present time, the Crown's ownership is subject to statutory rights acquired by the adverse possessor who may be eligible to receive a title under the Quieting of Titles or the Lands Act."
