Every state ( if you are in the US) has their own rules on adverse posseession, **taking land away from the legal owner.

Do they know you are living there, do you pay rent, do you share crop. How many years have you been living there.

We have lived here 46 yrs we do not share crops and have never paid rent and yes they do know we live here.we only live 60 ft off the highway so the dwelling is very easily seen from a major highway.we have a pool a pump house and have done renovations. On this dwelling. But the town is growing and now the land is more valuable so we are afraid the guy who owns the property will now kick us off.
