Disclaimer: this story isn’t mine, it’s from a friend. Backstory: We live in Portugal. Here there is a law that states that if someone abandons a plot of land and that is used by someone else for a minimum of 20 years, that person has the right to claim the land for themselves. This friend of mine has inherited a house in a town. This town is basically a beach holiday town: the rich people of the city nearby often had there a house and spent the whole summer there (this was in the early 20th century). Some people still do that including my friend. So his family has been using a spot right next to their house as a playground for the kids. For way more than 20 years (in fact for over 50). They hadn’t yet needed to claim it since the owner didn’t do anything to it. Until 2 years ago, when he decided to sell it to a couple that built a 2 story house there. The house completely ruins the view that he had over the sea and also ruins the look of the neighbourhood due to its differences to other houses. So my friend decided to claim the land (this was before the house was built, but since portuguese justice is slow af, the house was already fully built when it ended).
