Generally, yes.
The executor has to defend the estate. They will have to hire an attorney to settle the case.
No. Adverse possession must be exclusive for the statutory period of time. Since a common element is used by multiple people, unless you can prove you were the only one who used the common area during the statutory period, you have no claim of adverse possession.
An adverse possession must be continuous, open and notorious in order to be valid. In this case, you may have an implied easement, a "right of way," under the lost grant doctrine, depending on how long the Statutory period for an adverse possession is in your state.
In Ontario, Canada, the period required to claim adverse possession under property common law is typically 10 years. During this time, the claimant must demonstrate continuous, open, and exclusive possession of the land, treating it as their own. Additionally, the possession must be without the permission of the actual owner. After this period, the claimant can apply to the court for a declaration of ownership based on adverse possession.
In Pennsylvania, the duration of such possession is twenty-one (21) years. Pennsylvania Code §42-5530. The possession must be continuous (unbroken), open (not during the day) and notorious (owner must have known or should have known) and under a good faith belief that the adverse possessor was entitled to the land.
Preface: I had to read this question several times. Pardon my obvious confusion. All references are as to the laws of the State of Washington. Adverse possession can only be met by proving each of the following elements (Muench v. Oxley, 90 Wn. 2d. 637, 584 P2d. 939 (1978)): the possession must be open and notorious, actual and uninterrupted, hostile, exclusive, and under a claim made in good faith. The necessary period of possession is 10 years; however, one who possesses under color of title and pays taxes for 7 consecutive years can bring an adverse possession action at the end of the 7 year period (RCW 7.28.070). If one element of the test is missing, the property cannot be claimed by adverse possession. Clearly, if two different people claimed title to a property by adverse possession,and both used the property during the 10 year period, neither one would have had exclusive and uninterrupted possession of the property, thereby failing the second prong of the adverse possession test introduced in Muench v. Oxley. One could also claim that the possession was not open and notorious, as well. In conclusion, neither party would succeed in their adverse possession claim because they would fail to meet each element of the adverse possession test.
Yes, but only the rights under the contract. For those interested in "adverse possession", the term "adverse" is completely defeated if there is a license at any time during the 10 years (or whatever your state laws require for continuous hostile possession).
I am averse to hiking during adverse weather.
Adverse possession is more complicated in Canada than in the US, has a different legal effect and it is not common.Generally, the claimant doesn't gain title to the property but the owner loses the right to sue after 10 years and the squatter only gets to occupy the land. They do not acquire any title. For that reason some think it should be more accurately called adverse occupation. The limit for prescriptive rights (personal, as in a right of way) is 20 years. Also, there are several overlapping statutes that apply and conflict in some cases. It takes occupation for 60 years to gain the right to occupy "Crown Lands". Adverse possession is rarely accomplished by deliberate encroachment. Rather, an adverse possessor must have acted in the belief that he or she owns the land.In Ontario, there are several statutes which apply:Limitations Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. L-15 (see s.15 and s.3)Land Titles Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. C.6, s. 3.Certification of Titles Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. C-6, s. 4(2)Ontario maintains two separate paper based systems for recording owners of land: the Registry System and the Land Titles System. Land registered in the Land Titles system is immune from adverse possession. In order to be vulnerable to an adverse possession claim the property must be in the Registry system.Over the last few years, there has been an official program in Ontario to convert all land registration to the Land Titles System under an electronic program called POLARIS ( Province of Ontario Land Registration and Information System). During the conversion process, the 'old' paper registry records are converted to an electronic system. As land is entered to the Land Titles System, any existing disputes are addressed, the clock for adverse possession stops running and future claims of adverse possession are barred. As time passes claims for adverse possession will diminish and eventually disappear.The court of jurisdiction for matters concenring adverse possession is the Superior Court of Justice.

They can certainly do so during the probate process. But a fair market price must be paid for it.
Maybe. It depends on the exact circumstances, and the laws of your particular state. Most states in the U.S. (as well as other common-law countries, such as Canada and the UK) adhere fairly closely to the common-law rules of adverse possession, which is a doctrine allowing a squatter to take title to land if they occupy it continuously for a certain period of time. To take title under adverse possession, several elements have to be met. They are: 1. Continuous occupation of land 2. In a manner adverse to the ownership interest of the true owner (so, if you're there with the explicit permission of the owner, you can never take title under adverse possession) 3. In a manner which is open and notorious, meaning that a reasonable owner would be put on notice that someone is occupying the land. 4. The land is used in a manner consistent with a true owner - for example, if the land is suited only for agriculture, the adverse possessor should use it for that purpose. Likewise, if the land is only suited for human use for part of the year (perhaps it's in the wilderness and inaccessible in winter), occupation only during the times it is accessible will satisfy the requirement of continuous occupation. 5. All of the above elements were continuously satisfied for a statutorily set period. This varies from state to state, and many states have different time limits depending on the circumstances, but it is generally 7 to 20 years. Basically, adverse possession is a statute of limitations for continuous trespass - the owner of the land has to remove an adverse possessor from the land within the statutory time limit, or they run the risk of losing title to the property. You should note that adverse possession does not apply if you have permission to be on the land, even if all the other elements are met, because, in such a case, you aren't an "adverse" possessor. However, if the owner explicitly revokes permission, but does nothing to actually eject you from the land, then you become an adverse possession, and the time period begins to run from that point forward.
