Adverse possession in Pennsylvania

On behalf of Kaplin Stewart Meloff Reiter & Stein, P.C. posted in Real Estate Law on Aug 5, 2011.

Over the last few weeks, a man who was able to move into a $300,000 home for about $16 has grabbed quite a few headlines. The Texas man used a quirk in real estate law called “adverse possession” to move into the abandoned home after filing an affidavit with a court and moving into the home. If he is able to stay in the home long enough, he will get full legal title to it. This leaves many of our readers wondering if this could happen in Pennsylvania. The answer is yes and no.
