Adverse Possession and the Myth of Abandoned Land
An analysis of the doctrine of adverse possession as a mechanism for institutionalized displacement, examining how the legal 'fiction' of abandonment obscures historical dispossession.
Adverse possession allows a trespasser to gain legal title, transforming unlawful occupation into a property right. This study critiques the 'Liar's Heir Syndrome' dynamics inherent in the justification of this doctrine, where the 'Liar' (the encroacher) inherits legitimacy from the failure of the original title holder to monitor their claim.
