As far as I know as long as the taxes have been paid they have no right to take the land

My mother just found out the she owned. Someone else has been paying the taxes on it, which constitutes the adverse possession. This is or was a common practice on the Vineyard years ago. It made many people rich. Pay taxes on land or lots and after a while you get a deed to it somehow. Nobody evidently has a clear title to this because of my mothers onwership of this small parcel. I need to get the land survey and the original submitted lot plan with certain information on it so I can locate the lots. My question is what if someone has a building on the land that essentially belongs to my mother. I am sure thier would be tax payment issues and other legal ramifications, but it would not be prudent to just let it slip away for such a small fee. My attorney also has a Vineyard office. I need to speak with him for mother tomorrow anyway, so this is just another issue.

Get an Attorney. Don't sign anything.

Get a lawyer, if someone has been paying the taxes I believe after 7 years they can take the land for next to nothing, like the fee for the paper work. it happened to a piece of land across the street from me,
My neighbor paid taxes on a lot next to his aunts and after a while he owned it.
