Adverse Possession

Adverse Possession in Wisconsin – Know Your Property Rights

Sometimes people use a piece of land for years—maybe it’s a driveway, a strip of lawn, or part of a fence line—without actually owning it. In Wisconsin, that long-term use can sometimes lead to legal ownership through something called adverse possession. If you’ve been using land you don’t technically own, or if someone else is claiming part of your property, our Wausau legal team is here to help. We’ll walk you through your rights, figure out where you stand, and help you take the right steps to protect your property. Get in touch to talk it through with an experienced local attorney.
