ADVERSE POSSESSION is a method of acquiring title to real property by possession for a statutory period under certain conditions, viz: proof of non-permissive use which is actual, open and notorious, exclusive, adverse, and continuous for the statutory period.

Congratulations to our commercial team for resolving an adverse possession claim after approximately 5 years of litigation where our clients successfully received due compensation for their half interest in a residential home in Astoria notwithstanding the fact that the occupants were in possession since 1983 of the subject property claiming all the above elements were completely satisfied.
