Adverse possession allows a person to gain legal ownership of a property by openly using it without the owner's permission for a certain period of time. When a new owner acquires a property, they may be at risk of losing ownership if someone else can prove adverse possession occurred before the new owner took possession.

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.

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.

Can you still get property by adverse possession after it has been auctioned?
In many jurisdictions, adverse possession can still be claimed on property that has been auctioned, but it often depends on the specific laws governing adverse possession and the auction process in that area. Generally, once the property is sold at auction, the new owner typically has clear title, which may limit the ability of a squatter to claim adverse possession. However, if the original conditions for adverse possession are met prior to the auction, the original possessor might still pursue a claim, although this can be legally complex. It's advisable to consult a legal expert to understand the implications in your specific situation.
