Can a neighborhood Napoleon simply take over, and become the owner of, another neighbor’s property? Any attorney even considering approaching an adverse possession case, regardless of which side, must start here. This is the first known book that focuses on just this issue—and from the litigator’s point of view. It is a one-stop shop for practitioners, with not only full descriptions of the ins and outs of the elements and potential defenses, and sample pleadings, but also various practical tips, tricks, clues, and ideas for successfully litigating these unusual cases.
“Who would believe that a thirty-eight-chapter deep dive into every aspect of litigating adverse possession —that hoary doctrine that somehow transforms trespass into ownership—could also be an engaging and accessible read? Paul Golden has somehow pulled it off. This erudite and comprehensive volume will prove truly invaluable for practitioners as well as academics and students engaging with one of the most enigmatic, yet practically important, areas of property law.”Nestor M. DavidsonAlbert A. Walsh Professor of Real Estate, Land Use and Property Law, Fordham Law School
“Paul Golden’s book is a gold mine for any lawyer litigating an adverse possession case. The book collects cases on every aspect of adverse possession doctrine, and does far more than survey standard problems that complicate adverse possession law. Golden examines the peculiarities of local law in many states and outlines a variety of defenses available to adverse possession litigators. To top it off, Golden’s refreshingly breezy style makes it easy to digest the valuable information he doles out.”Stewart SterkMack Professor of Law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law of Yeshiva University
