The article talks about whether or not an adverse claim is challenged or not. I think that's the key, here. If I put a garage or even a house on your plot and you don't even bother to object -- for ten years-- that passes a reasonable test that you've abandoned rights of claim.
I'm just not buying Denise Przybylo's apparent claim that she had no clue that something was built on her land. Mind blowingly oblivious. If we have something like that around here, I've never heard of it being invoked. Sounds like the revision puts some stricter perameters on it, which is probably good.
I just don't understand why anyone would own a chunk of land, pay property taxes on it, and just have it sit around uselessly. Not saying that's bad or anything, just very, very odd, to me. Seems like a great way to lose money.
