Thanks for the clarification. Some cases I came across show that the squatter needs to have known the land was not theirs in the first place and raise a flag or paint an “X” or some other “adverse” move from the time they trespassed leading up all the way to the day the owner reclaims it or stakes it. If the squatter improves the land like clearing, tilling, and growing crops then that could also stand as the right to claim it but it still must prove to be “adverse”. Maybe Ma law is different totally.
