Adverse Possession Legal Services
Adverse possession is a nuanced legal doctrine under Indian property law, wherein an individual may acquire legal ownership of immovable property through continuous, open, and hostile possession over a statutory period. As delineated in the Limitation Act, 1963, this period is 12 years for private property and 30 years for government-owned land. For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), the risk of adverse possession claims is heightened due to prolonged absences and reliance on informal caretaking arrangements, potentially leading to unauthorized occupants asserting ownership rights.
