AP typically requires a lot longer time spent in control of the property.

Nono like the establishing it part. In Illinois you gotta be there 20 years, and I've never heard of under 7. But then I end up seeing stories about squatters getting tossed out by cops for trespassing and it seems to be a big mess of what the law allows vs cops just doing/not doing whatever they feel like.

Basically my question is how do you adversely possess something if cops just roll up and arrest you for trespassing if they feel like it

I think in principle they are very similar, but my guess is actually-existing AP doesn't look like squatting, it looks like disputes between neighbors. You know: "My dad put up this fence in 1955 and you can't tell me this 10 feet of land belongs to you, it's mine now."

Yeah, I think in theory if you're correctly adversely possessing someone else's house, the police have no reason to eject you from the property, because you're using the property as if you were the true owner and the true owner hasn't told the police you're there.

Adverse possession is mostly for boundary disputes that nobody noticed for a generation not a way to get a free house. It's not like the police have to allow you to begin building up time for adverse possession because it's not something that's encouraged. If you get caught you get thrown out on your rear end.

I think it's just Chicago coloring my question, because the police there have told me that as long as there's furniture in the property, they consider the squatters to be legal occupants and won't take action against them. I think it'd legitimately be possible to adversely possess a house in a 20 year period here without enough moxy (breaking back in every few years when you actually do get evicted)

basically it was a dumb question i asked because i was bored

There are almost 900 justices of the peace in Texas, a state if 25 million people. The worst thing is they handle credit card debt prove ups, with almost no real way to fight at that level.

Isn't one of the elements for AP "claim of title"? As in, you'd have to show that you truly believed that you were the true owner of the property. This isn't a problem for, say, a fence-line dispute. I have a hard time seeing a squatter making that same argument.

Not as far as I know. I thought part of the public policy behind ap was that if someplace was abandoned and someone else just took it over they got to keep it eventually. I suppose property tax sales serve that function now but not everywhere has that.

BREYER: Speed has everything to do with it.
Depending on where to you leave, color of title might reduce how long you have to occupy the property

No, that's homesteading and there was an act passed when we wanted to do that. Adverse possession is basically just a statute of limitations on property claims so that if everyone's thought the layout was X for a generation, someone turning up a musty old map that says the line was five feet to the right and now I own the wall of your house doesn't actually gently caress everything up. It's for those edge cases, not for getting a free house.

In some states, knowing it's not your land means you can never get it regardless of how long you're staying there.

I've had ten or so cases where adverse possession was an issue, and they were all in the context of boundary lines or mineral trespass. About a 7 to 3 ratio

You don't need an LLM to be an expert in Bankruptcy Court. Just be able to show up to a non-hearing, disheveled and 10 minutes late, and say things like, "My client can't pay that, their cat has post-partum depression." and, "That business records affidavit from American Express doesn't state how they know that they know that the records are kept in the ordinary course of business."

And also learn to live off of $30/client after 8 months of work.
