A Delaware man lost possession of his property after his neighbor set up a goat pen on the land and used it for 20 years which gives her claim under state law.
Banks took Schrock, who claimed squatter's rights, to court and a judge ruled against him. Andrew Mark Miller is a writer at Fox News. Find him on Twitter @andymarkmiller and email tips to AndrewMark.Miller@Fox.com.
The judge determined that Banks had not been a primary resident of the property for the last 20 years and only occasionally visited from where he lived in Atlanta which, according to Delaware’s adverse possession law, gives Schrock claim to the property after 20 years.
