How do you write a letter to prevent adverse possession?
In most states, adverse possession has five elements. The possession must be: 1. Open and notorious 2. Actual and uninterrupted 3. Exclusive 4. Hostile and under a claim of right 5. For a period of 10 years. I would simply interrupt the possession, by putting something like a park bench on the property, use the bench, and do so openly. This would bar the second, third, and likely fourth prong of adverse possession. You are free to write a certified letter to the other party stating this, but you don't have to--the claimant of adverse possession has to prove all five elements to get quite title. Consult with a real estate attorney in your area if you have concerns about your particular situation.

Real Estate: Adverse Possession?
When a person purchases a plot of real estate, he or she may not know the laws governing adverse possession. It is important to thoroughly understand the doctrine of adverse possession, to avoid having other people claim one's own land. Adverse possession is simply a common law concept which concerns the title to a piece of real property. Through adverse possession, a person may claim title to another person's real property without compensation. The way in which a person claims this title to another person's real property is by holding the property in a manner that outright conflicts with the real owner's rights for a specific period of time. There are elements a person must meet in order to adversely possess a tract of land. These elements make up an easy acronym to remember, AN ECHO. First, a squatter must hold a tract of land openly and notoriously. These elements fall under the O and N of AN ECHO. The squatter must give reasonable notice to the owner that he or she is claiming dominion on the owner's tract of land. Possession must also be exclusive. This falls under the E of AN ECHO. A squatter's exclusive possession means that he or she can not share possession with the owner or the public. The possession must also be actual. Actual possession means that the squatter must have actual entry on a piece of the land, which will then give rise to constructive possession of the land. Actual possession will make the statute of limitations begin running for possession of the land. A squatter must also be sure to hold a tract of land adversely and hostilely. To further elaborate on what it means to hold land openly and hostilely, hostile means that land is being held without a true owner's consent. The adverse element means that possession must be under a claim of right, and it must look like the possessors actions are claims of ownership. The claims of ownership must appear that way to the surrounding community. Lastly, to hold a tract of land adversely or hostilely, a squatter must pass the objective or subjective test. The objective test is that it looks like a claim of title, but a person says it is not, then it is a claim of right. The subjective test is that the adverse possessor has good faith that he has the title to the land. The other elements that must be met for adverse possession are that possession is continuous and under claim or title or color of title.
Can we block our driveway from our neighbors the driveway is on our land but they have used it the pasted 33 years?
It sounds like a relatively clear case of "adverse possession" where uninterrupted and uncontested use of property over an extended period of time essentially constitutes a waiver of the landowner's right to deny the use. The period of uninterrupted use varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but 33 years pretty much establishes a claim of adverse possession. In the case of a driveway, the key is that the use must be uninterrupted for the necessary period. If that driveway is blocked off by the landowner for one day a year, the use is considered to have been interrupted and a claim for adverse possession is usually negated. However, you should consult with an attorney. A claim of adverse possession must be perfected by a court order in many jurisdictions.

What law protects squatters in Florida?
Generally, in the United States squatters are trespassers and there are no laws that protect trespassers.Florida, like other states, follows a legal theory called adverse possession. The law of adverse possession evolved from English common law and under it a person could take possession of another owner's property that was lying idle, use and improve it without the owner's permission, and with continuous use eventually could acquire legal ownership.In Florida the time required to establish a valid claim of adverse possession is seven years. The trouble is that if you managed to move into property and improve it for six and a half years the owner could kick you out, keep the improvements and you would have no recourse.
What is the law governing adverse possession in Washington?
In Washington State, the elements that must be met to have a claim of adverse possession are as followed: The possession must be..........1. Exclusive. Only you, or people authorized by you, can have possession of the land in question for the required period of possession (which is 10 years). Courts have ruled that the possession does not have to be absolutely exclusive, so you will want to discuss your particular situation with an attorney (see below).2. Actual and uninterrupted. That means that you actually have possession and control over the land in question, and that possession is not interrupted by an adversary. 3. Open and notorious. An adversary must be aware that his land is being taken. But you don't have to write the landowner, or anything like that. Your possession must be in a manner that is overt, not covert. 4. Hostile. That means that you treat the land in question as your own, and defend it against the world. Adverse possession is not created when you have the permission of the landowner to use his land (so a long-term tenant cannot claim adverse possession).(Chaplin v. Sanders , 100 Wn.2d 853 , 857, 676 P.2d 431 (1984)) You must meet all four of these elements to qualify for adverse possession. You have the burden of proving you met each element. You must have met these elements for a minimum of 10 years.Alternatively, if you have held a property for seven years under a "good faith color of title" and have continuously paid all taxes on that property for seven years, you need only prove actual, open and notorious possession to establish adverse possession. See RCW 7.28.070 . If you believe that you have a claim of adverse possession, or are facing an adverse possession lawsuit, you should see a real estate attorney immediately! Adverse possession is a complicated subject, and you don't want to take it on without the guidance of a qualified attorney at law.

Property law that after many years of access trespassers have rights?
This sounds like an easement "by prescription", but you may be referring to "adverse possession". Can't absolutely tell based on the scanty information.

Can a neighbor claim adverse possession of a property after it has changed owners and the new owners bought through lawyers thought they bought a clear title and have only owned it for 8 months?
It is certainly possible. The "owner" of an adverse possession interest can sit quietly on this ownership, until someone tries to retake the claim, such as when a new neighbor comes along with a deed purporting to include the land which is actually no longer owned under any deed. As a rule, adverse possession does not show up in any title search and many title companies disclaim any liability for un-indexed claims like that. If the neighbor's adverse possession was completed (i.e., their possession conformed to all the local requirements), then they have owned it since then and have no obligation to tell you or anyone else about it (unless otherwise required by local statutes). The fact the previous owner didn't know about it is too bad for them, if they gave a warranty deed. The new "owner" (of deed) may file an action to quiet title, and see if a court will dismiss their claim of adverse possession. If not, then the new deed is worthless, except for the part that says "with warranty covenants." This phrase will allow them to get their money back because the deed did not convey the title it claims to.
