Why does the law recognize Adverse possession?
The historical reasoning behind adverse possession was to clear title to land that had been inadequately surveyed in earlier times and as time passed and the original owner died, ownership became clouded. Much land sat unused and no one knew who owned it. Adverse possession allowed someone to make the land productive again. They would be rewarded for improving the land (which the former owner had abandoned) and improving the land was good for the community- a proper justification for allowing the person who resurrected that land to claim title. However, the doctrine of adverse possession is not so favorably viewed in more modern times. Many legal experts look at adverse possession as legal theft.The historical reasoning behind adverse possession was to clear title to land that had been inadequately surveyed in earlier times and as time passed and the original owner died, ownership became clouded.
