(1) Property is considered to have been adversely held if a person in possession of the property, either personally or through another: (a) (i) possesses a written document purporting to convey title; or (ii) possesses a decree or judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction conveying title; and (b) has occupied the property continuously for at least seven years. (2) If the property consists of a tract divided into lots, the possession of one lot is not considered a possession of any other lot in the same tract.
