Court of Appeals Clarifies Adverse Possession Doctrine
September 28, 2006
Despite its ancient origins, adverse possession doctrine retains considerable contemporary importance. Disputed questions of fact explain the continuing volume of adverse possession litigation, but unfortunate statements of law have also been a factor. This past spring, in <i>Walling v. Przyblo</i>, the Court of Appeals took a significant step toward clarifying and simplifying adverse possession doctrine in New York.
