    Hi
    Just wondering can anyone ans this please. My aunt bought a site years ago off a man, we will call him Mike but she never did anything with it. His son continued to use the land for his cattle. They have tried fencing it off several times only to have the fence pulled up presuming by the son. She heard there is a way the deeds off the land can be transfered into his name under squatters rights, is this true, without them being informed. Also I know he hasnt been living on the land either. Would he be really considered a squatter.
    Thanks:)

    I'm new around here and I know that there's a prohibition on seeking and giving legal advice.

    In general terms, a person can only make a claim for adverse possession where they are in possession of land that is not their own for 12 years.

    The legal owner of the land must effectively abandon possession for the whole period (i.e. not assert their ownership of it). If the owner asserts their title over the land, then adverse possession won't exist.

    Also, the legal owner must be the defendant in the proceedings so it can't be done without their knowledge.

    Correct. Advice is prohibited - contact a solicitor!
