here F is interesting we don't condone
stealing when it's illegal
when stealing is legal on the other hand
I mean go for it you see there are times
when stealing someone's house can be
totally 100 percent legal if you're
wondering how allow me to introduce you
to a little something called an adverse
possession adverse possession commonly
called squatter's rights is a legal
process whereby a person trespassing on
someone else's property if they stay
there long enough actually becomes the
legal owner of that property in other
words if you trespass or trespass is
long enough they not only become not a
trespasser they also become the owner it
would be like saying that if you pretend
you in a country for long enough you
would actually end up owning that
country
Evren now you know what is the least
surprising things as the violation of
the Treaty of Versailles adverse
possession the principle of sitting on
land long enough until you own it
derives from Old English common law
see beckon yield days when lands were
constantly being conquered and pillaged
and stolen it was often hard to know who
legally owned property so instead of
figuring it out the courts kind of just
shrugged and decided that if someone had
managed to live on a piece of property
for long enough they were probably its
rightful owner somehow those laws have
continued to exist until today in
several formerly or presently Krumpet
consuming countries including England
Australia and the United States adverse
possession remains the law of the land
today adverse possession is usually used
for minor land disputes between
neighbors for example if you have a
fence that technically goes a bit into
your neighbor's property and you
maintain that area for several years is
possible you can claim it through
adverse possession but in some cases it
can be used for much more than that with
squatters successfully using it to claim
entire houses
as their own now I'd like to welcome you
to the segment called hii super cool
super accurate legal advice : I'm no
lawyer this isn't legal advice please
don't sue me before you get all excited
and decide you're going to steal your
neighbor's house you should know that
there are five specific criteria that
must be met in order for adverse
possession to work first the possession
must be hostile that doesn't mean you
have to invade with trebuchet as the
gentleman's weapon but it does mean that
you must in fact be on the land without
the owner's permission you have to
actually be trespassing otherwise for
example people who are renting or
borrowing a house
might be able to claim ownership under
adverse possession so protip put a sign
up inviting anyone in and then nobody
can claim adverse possession criteria
DOS the possession must be actual that
means that not only must see trespasser
actually be on the property they also
must be using it as if it was their own
and actively maintaining it you have to
be living there and doing the stuff that
a normal homeowner would do mending the
hedges mowing the fences watering the
window taking out the lawn reading the
trash the normal stuff criteria number C
the possession must be open and
notorious in other words you can't be
hiding the fact that you live there so
don't worry if someone is hiding in your
attic for five years they can't suddenly
take you to court and claim they own
your house open and notorious possession
means that the trespasser must be living
there clearly and openly in such a way
that the real owner if they were paying
any attention at all would be able to
know that they were there and kicked
them out criteria number if the
possession must be exclusive the person
or people claiming the property it must
be the only ones living there
the owner cannot be living on or using
the property at any point if they do
then your claim is gone which means that
if you've been on the property for years
waiting to take adverse possession if
the real owner even stops by to use the
bathroom the clock starts over again it
is for this reason that in New York for
example where there are plenty of prior
Lyon courtyards open to the public
many of these are barricaded off by
their owners once a year just to prove
the owners domination of the land so
that nobody can live on and subsequently
claim the courtyards and finally a
criteria number sank a possession must
be continuous
you must continuously live on the
property for a certain period of time
that doesn't mean you can never leave
you can go to the grocery store or on a
normal vacation but you must be using
the property the way that normal
even or wood you can't go to an
abandoned house once or twice over
several years and claim it how long you
have to live there depends on the state
or nation's laws it could be as short as
five or as long as 40 years but once you
reap that magic number boom you own the
place
assuming you succeed in proving you meet
the criteria in a complex an expensive
legal process nonetheless people
successfully apply the law of adverse
possession all the time in countries
where it exists often fixing up and
living in abandoned buildings now if you
become an adverse possession master you
might end up with quite a few houses and
they'd be safe because you probably have
a different key to each house that way
if you lose a key only one of your
houses would be compromised rather than
all if that makes sense then why would
you use the same password on all your
online accounts you should have
different passwords for each site but
