I have been permanently residing at my parents' estate for over five years. The executor ha failed to distribute the assets - particularly the house. Can I claim ownership of the house under "adverse possession' laws in NSW?
No. Adverse possession in NSW requires evidence of 12 years of continuous “exerted dominion over the land” and it needs to be against the owner’s - children of owners are presumed to occupy the property in accordance to the owners’ wishes unless proven otherwise. It’s pretty difficult and technical.
