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.

In a boundary dispute does occupancy over many years give ownership or does the boundary have to be redrawn and garden land given back?
You may have an adverse possession claim and should consult an attorney familiar with adverse possession claims in your state. ==Additional Answer== Each state has its own laws on these matters. In California, you would probably have 'prescriptive right' which means you have had use of the property for a statutory number of years. Asking the Court to settle the matter, and having a boundary map prepared to recognize the changed property's configuration, should settle the matter.

Which side should a close-board fence be positioned Best side in neighbors or owners What if they are paying half as they want the fence changed but the existing one is still ok?
The law requires that the best side (the side without all the wooden posts showing) be towards the neighbor. it makes no difference if they are paying half, because the law requires that the owner of the fence follow the law. in other words, the fence is on your land, and therefore, the best side must be towards the neighbor. The law protects not only the neighbor, but future buyers of your neighbor's property.
