This law has been enforceable for hundreds of years, and its process has been implemented several times since not only the early settlement of the United States, but in the settlement of European nations since the 1400's. Adverse possession takes place without the willingness of the property owner. If the owner was to be aware, he could attempt to prevent during the years required in order for the possessor to receive title to the property. One of the earlier additions to an adverse possession claim, which benefit the possessors, is the process of tacking. Tacking deals with either selling your interest on another individual's property to a second possessor, or to add an additional possessor in order to make time go faster.
