Chapter 7. Adverse Possession
IC 32-21-7-1
Establishing title; payment of taxes and special assessments by
adverse possessor
Sec. 1. In any suit to establish title to land or real estate,
possession of the land or real estate is not adverse to the owner in a
manner as to establish title or rights in and to the land or real estate
unless the adverse possessor or claimant pays and discharges all
taxes and special assessments that the adverse possessor or claimant
reasonably believes in good faith to be due on the land or real estate
during the period the adverse possessor or claimant claims to have
possessed the land or real estate adversely. However, this section
does not relieve any adverse possessor or claimant from proving all
the elements of title by adverse possession required by law.
