AU Australia property term
Adverse Possession
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
A legal process through which a person may seek title to land after satisfying strict possession, evidence, notice and survey requirements.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
Long use or a misplaced fence does not automatically transfer ownership. Obtain WA property-law and licensed-surveyor advice before relying on or resisting a claim.
