What is the name of your state? California
I bought a property 15 years ago and registered the deed under my son's name. I paid for the purchase and have been paying property taxes for 15 years. My son just lived in it and pay utility bills. Nothing else. Can I suit for the adverse possesion and change the deed to my name? I know CA adverse possesion laws require open and hostile use of the property and pay property tax for 5 years. Obviously I did not hostile use the proprety. However, I paid for the property purchase and taxes. Will I win the case?
