Adverse possession typically requires exclusive, continuous, open, and notorious possession of the property for a certain period of time, usually several years, without permission from the owner. Simply paying rent and property taxes may not be sufficient to establish adverse possession if you do not meet all other required criteria. It's best to consult with a legal professional for guidance on your specific situation.

My property someone signed illegal lease?
If you own the property, then you have the exclusive right to grant possession to others in the form of a lease or other rental agreement (oral or written). Anyone on your property without your authority, or under license from someone without authority, is a trespasser and can be summarily removed. If you do nothing, the trespasser may eventually claim that you have lost the right to remove them, and thus trigger issues of "adverse possession", meaning you could lose the ownership of the property. You should contact an attorney in your area to discuss the specific facts and local laws as may relate to your situation, but you should do it quickly.

Your irrigation system encroaches on your neighbors property he knows this and says its ok but does not want one of your heirs or sucessors to be able to say the property is now theirs?
Adverse possession must be "hostile." If the neighbor grants permission, then the possession is not hostile. A good way to resolve this is for you neighbor to lease the irrigation right to you for $1 a year or something like that. The neighbor can put this lease into writing, and you can pay 100 years (or whatever) in advance. As long as the neighbor does not lose his copy of the lease, he has redress against your heirs attempting to claim the property is theirs. Use a standard lease agreement (specific to your state) if you do this - they have all the legalisms worked out in advance. See a lawyer for more info.
