Can adverse possession be used by new owners of a building built 20 years before they bought the property?

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.

What happens if a building built over 25 years ago was over the property line and the new neighbors now want it?

First, you must determine whether your state subscribes to the legal doctrine of "adverse possession." This can easily be determined by calling a real estate lawyer--I would choose one who gives "free consultations." If the answer is yes, then you will need to initiate a lawsuit to quiet title to the building and land through the theory of adverse possession. In sum, if your state has adverse possession, your neighbors have no case.


What is the new york state statute of limitations on adverse possession?

To make a claim of adverse possession, the claimant must occupy the property against the rights of the owner, but not hide the fact that he is occupying the property. The claimant must occupy the property continuously past the statute of limitations. If he is removed and then reoccupies, the clock on the statute resets. Also, the time cannot be passed (or 'tacked') on to another claimant. Requirements in NY: 1) the possessor must have actually entered the property and must have exclusive possession of the property; 2) the possession must be "open and notorious"; 3) the possession must be adverse to the rightful owner and under a claim of right; and 4) the possession must be "continuous" for the statutory period of ten years.
