Adverse Possession Update | Analyzing the Final Unexamined Frontier of the New Law: Permissive Encroachments

Since the significant 2008 revisions to New York’s Adverse Possession Law, courts and practitioners have grappled with their impact on property disputes. In this program, renowned real estate attorney Adam Leitman Bailey will provide a comprehensive analysis of how the post-2008 law applies today—while also exploring the enduring influence of pre-2008 precedent in adverse possession claims.

This session will focus on the critical and previously unexamined issue of permissive encroachments, offering fresh insights into a topic that has yet to be formally addressed in legal education. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how permissive use factors into adverse possession claims and learn strategies for navigating these complex cases in practice.
