  • Nah, speaking from personal experience, I grew up in a sutuation where my family took care of a small adjacent strip of property we didn’t own for 20+ years. The true owner lived ~5 houses down and for 18+ years he didn’t know he owned it. —In that situation we could have claimed the property and the only reason we didn’t is the cost of surveying the property was greater than it’s perceived value. it was probably 20 ft wide and had a large storm drain running under the middle of it that came from a walmart parking lot a half-mile away.

    fast-forward a few years and the people we sold the home to were moving out and the number of acres listed had been updated to include that strip of land.
