How do you fight adverse possession of your property rite of way?

Answer 1

Adverse possession is a complex area of law that varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. You can lose your property if you do nothing. The best way to avoid a claim is to give the person permission to use whatever portion of land they are using without your permission and require that they sign an agreement to that effect. Or, you can give them notice that they are encroaching on your land and demand that they stop. You may need to seek the advice of an attorney who is familiar with your state laws regarding adverse claims. You can read much more about adverse possession at the link below.

Can you provide more information? There really is no way to "stop" adverse possession, but depending on the facts, you may have defenses available. The only true way to end adverse possession is by legislative change. For example, in Washington there is a bill, HB 1479, which would effectively put a stop to all claims of adverse possession, but until that bill is passed, there is really no way to stop someone from using adverse possession as a way to steal another's property.
