What does open and hostile mean in adverse possession?
"Hostile" in terms of adverse possession: The hostility necessary to support a claim of title to property by adverse possession requires only that the claimant treat the land as his or her own as against the world throughout the statutory period. The claimant's use of the land is not hostile if the claimant was given permission to occupy the land by the record owner thereof. See HARRIS v. URELL, 133 Wn. App. 130, (May 2006) (Washington state). "Open" in terms of adverse possession: Open and notorious use is such that would lead a reasonable person to assume that the claimant was the owner. The acts constituting the warning which establishes notice must be made with sufficient obtrusiveness to be unmistakable to an adversary, not carried out with such silent civility that no one will pay attention. . . . Real property will be taken away from an original owner by adverse possession only when he was or should have been aware and informed that his interest was challenged. See BRYANT v. PALMER COKING COAL CO., 86 Wn. App. 204, 936 P.2d 1163 (May 1997) (Washington state).
