Squatter's Right
Right to use property in the absence of forcible eviction by another. Some state laws allow squatter's rights to convert to bona-fide title over time. For example, if it cannot be ascertained who owns a parcel of property then a squatter may acquire title to the real estate because he has been an occupant of the property continually for some minimum period required by law.
