To claim adverse possession, one must meet specific criteria, which typically include continuous and uninterrupted use of the property for a statutory period (often 5 to 20 years, depending on jurisdiction), exclusive possession, open and notorious use (visible and obvious to others), and use that is hostile to the interests of the true owner. The claimant must demonstrate that they treated the property as their own and that their use was not with permission from the owner. Legal proceedings may be necessary to formally establish the claim and obtain title to the property. Always consult local laws and possibly an attorney to navigate the complexities of adverse possession.

Can you get title to property through adverse possession for an 1' encroachment?

As long as you have satisfied your state's prerequisites to adverse possession with regard to the 1' piece of land, you may begin adverse possession proceedings. However, since the piece of land is only 1', you should seriously consider not pursuing an adverse possession claim. Not only will you have to pay an attorney to represent you in court, you also have to live next to the neighbor whose property you are adversely possessing. If you want to pursue adverse possession, it is highly recommended that you try mediation before going to court. (See below link.)
