Attorney Michael Campbell Explains Who You Can Sue Or Cannot Sue If You Lose Some Of Your Land To Adverse Use

Quick answer

If you buy land that a neighbor already won through adverse use, can you sue the seller? Usually not, says Pierce County, Washington attorney Michael Campbell. You might have a claim if the previous owner knowingly sold property whose legal description didn't match what he actually owned—but even then, Campbell cautions, that claim likely won't go very far.
