[WSBAPT] adverse possession tacking

[ofcounsl1 at mindspring.com]

If the adverse use fully matured before the parcels were in common
ownership, then the common ownership could do nothing to affect the adverse
use. Conversely, if the adverse use was not fully mature when the parcels
went into common ownership, the common owner could not adversely possess
against himself, so no adverse possession occurred during common ownership.

Subject: [WSBAPT] adverse possession tacking

 

I think the answer to this is pretty obvious but I want to check my gut. 

 

There is an adverse encroachment of improvements from one parcel onto the
neighboring parcel. Both parcels eventually come into common ownership.
Later common owner sells the two parcels separately. New owners with adverse
possession claim have not yet owned their property for 10 years. Did the
common ownership end the adverse possession so that the new owners cannot
tack the time of their adverse possession to any time prior to their
ownership?

 

Thank you very much.
