Question

An owner of land may involuntarily and unknowingly give up the rights to land. When a fee simple interest is conveyed to a new owner without a deed and without the consent or knowledge of the original owner, this is said to be conveyed by:A. PrescriptionB. Adverse possessionC. AccretionD. Reliction

Answer 1

The answer is: B) Adverse possession, but A) Prescription, is also correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Adverse possession is the process by which a person who does not have legal rights to a certain real estate property (usually land) acquires legal ownership based on continuous occupation of the land without the consent of its legal owner.

Ownership by prescription happens when someone other than the original owner gains legal rights over a certain property under the principles of "adverse possession".
