My mother just found out the she owned. Someone else has been paying the taxes on it, which constitutes the adverse possession. This is or was a common practice on the Vineyard years ago. It made many people rich. Pay taxes on land or lots and after a while you get a deed to it somehow. Nobody evidently has a clear title to this because of my mothers onwership of this small parcel. I need to get the land survey and the original submitted lot plan with certain information on it so I can locate the lots. My question is what if someone has a building on the land that essentially belongs to my mother. I am sure thier would be tax payment issues and other legal ramifications, but it would not be prudent to just let it slip away for such a small fee. My attorney also has a Vineyard office. I need to speak with him for mother tomorrow anyway, so this is just another issue.
