[WSBAPT] heir claim to property

[Shannon Jones]

Listmates, One of three intestate heirs lives in deceased parent's house and pays off mortgage, also pays insurance, taxes and all upkeep for 7 years because deceased parent told them she wanted them to have the house. Two other intestate heirs have mental health and substance abuse problems, homeless and may be impossible to locate. At some point can the heir who has paid everything claim adverse possession? Would it be 10 years rather than 7 because they have no "color of title"? Any input appreciated - Shannon
