Can I ask the land court to hear my neighbor's claim of adverse possession on land that is being registered?
If someone has a claim of adverse possession that affects land that is in the process of being registered they should make their claim known to the land court ASAP. Once a parcel is registered it is protected by law from adverse possession claims. However, you should advise your neighbor that land court claims are expensive to pursue. It is the obligation of the claimant to provide acceptable proof of their claim. That means expensive legal costs.
