A: The question is barely in English, and the description of the defense of adverse possession isn’t vaguely close to the law. If you have occupied a property openly adversely continuously and hostilely for more than the time in the statute of limitations, you may assert —preferably competently, through counsel — the defense of statute of limitations as a defense when the title owner seeks ejectment. If you are missing any element, the defense fails.
