My question involves real estate located in the State of:
I am voluntarily keeping up a parcel of long abandoned land adjacent to my property, as those who lived in this house before me did. I would like to purchase the land and am waiting for the city to foreclose so I can bid on it. In the meantime, if I wait long enough and the foreclosure doesn't come about, can I petition for adverse possession. The state law stipulates 7 years with color of title. Does my upkeep qualify or contribute to color of title?
