Advers posssession almost always carries the caveat that :
a. You must open and notoriously occupy the property....to the detriment of the owner....this means that you cannot simply say you are doing it...you must do it.
b. You must pay the taxes on the property for the time period required by your state.
Adverse Possession IS NOT easy....the courts will not take the property and give it to you just because you say you want it.
