Adverse Possession only works if there was not
any "permission" granted by the former owner. So get the
previous owner to write something up that he gave permission
to the neighbor to use the lot. Also with a witness or in
writing get neighbor to admit to permission . Also the
Adverse Possession must be continuous. Find out if there
were some years he did not use the property.
