A lot of people believe that a 7-year boundary rule exists which states that if you own a piece of land for 7 years, you have the right to file for adverse possession over it. However, this is inaccurate because in order to adversely own land, you must demonstrate that you have maintained the land in question for a minimum of 10 - 12 years, depending on whether the land is registered. While adverse possession lawsuits do entail disagreements over a boundary, they are highly specialised problems.
