Another Couple Loses Land to Adverse Possession

Again, it is time for adverse possession to come to an end. Here is another example of a couple in Pennsylvania who has lost their investment to legalized land theft!

I think her quote sums up the experience of losing your land to a neighboring thief...

"It's just not ethical," she said. "I wouldn't do that to somebody. It's so much like stealing. (The neighbors) didn't pay the taxes on it, nor did they have the deed. We paid the taxes on it, all those years.

"I think people should be made aware that this law exists," she continued. "I don't want to see this happen to someone else. We should teach children in school skills they will need to live, like how to balance a checkbook and how the stock market works. We should also teach them about the law."

News Coverage Hits the Mark

Yesterday, End Adverse Possession Now announced its formal support and endorsement for Washington state House Bill 1479, which would put an end to adverse possession (aka legalized land theft) claims in Washington.

I'm pleased to say that this announcement garnered widespread online pick-up, and more interestingly, it got a couple of placements in two key political/state legislative sites.

Lastly, this announcement touched another citizen who is also facing a neighbor stealing his property. In support of our cause, he too is making a donation to help us fight against and eradicate legalized land theft. Thank you for your donations!!

Here are a few of the highlight links:
