FAQ
Like in most states, adverse possession in Tennessee can be proven based on the character of a trespasser's possession and the length of time they have possessed the land. A trespasser's possession must be: hostile (against the right of the true owner) without permission.
Unlike other states, Tennessee DOES NOT have specific laws on how to remove squatters, but to begin the removal process, the property owner or manager must initiate a judicial eviction and give notice to the person occupying the property before they can be legally removed by the sheriff's office.
Through the doctrine of adverse possession, a person may acquire the land/title owned by someone else as long as they follow specific requirements. Each state has its own laws regarding squatters' rights and the length of time, between 5-20 years, they must reside on the property to claim it.
In Virginia, a squatter must reside on a property for at least 15 years before making an adverse possession claim. This period must be uninterrupted, meaning the tenant cannot leave for a few weeks or months and make an adverse possession claim.
It depends, under certain circumstances a party's payment of property taxes can create a rebuttable presumption that the party has title, or ownership, to the property in question. These requirements are addressed in Tennessee Code Annotated §§ 28-2-109 & 110.
You may be surprised to learn that the neighbor who has planted a flower bed on part of your property and who keeps mowing part of your lawn every week may actually have a claim to your property.
Acting quickly is the best way to fight an adverse possession claim. Negotiate permission in writing: You may be willing to allow the use of the property. If so, having a written document helps prove you allowed specific use and could help fight an adverse possession claim.
The claimants must establish, by clear and positive proof, that they have enjoyed the use of the property for at least twenty years, and that such use has been adverse, under claim of right, continuous, uninterrupted, visible, exclusive, and with the knowledge and acquiescence of the owner of the servient tenement.
