A: The thrust of this question seems to concern property rights, and I would suggest your reposting it under the heading real estate/real property.
A:
Same response as before- Unless you have a court order granting ownership and a deed based on adverse possession, you remain a mere trespasser who may have a claim of adverse possession.
In Maryland, a claim for adverse possession must be proven, in an evidentiary hearing. It is not automatic.
