What is the process for adverse possession of property in Philadelphia? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Under Title 68 (sections 81 et seq) of the Consolidated Pennsylvania Statutes, you need 21 years of continuous adverse possession without the owner filing an action for possession (i.e., for trespass and ejectment), under the statute of limitations. There is a statutory form for recording a claim of a.p., absent which such claim would be invalid against a later purchaser from the owner of record, if the a.p.'s possession has lapsed for more than six months.
Furthermore, Section 5530(b) states:
- "No entry upon real property shall toll the running of the period of limitation [21 years], unless a possessory action shall be commenced therefor within one year after entry...."
