I guess I own part of a lot of buildings, especially the ones I worked in.

You must live in a country that hasn't progressed to issuing deeds with
registered land boundaries.

I doubt the court deemed it his because of encroaching. There was another
hardship and logic involved that the judge would have taken into
consideration to rule that one.

I think I own the downtown sidewalks too. Maybe I don't want to shovel
those.

I'm not suggesting that Wiki is a legal authority. It was just to give
the idea of what "adverse possession" is.

I'd no more rely on Wiki than I would on your statement that " ...if
your neighbor did not pay property taxes on the land he encroached upon
he does not own it." Actually, I would rely on Wiki more than you, but
that still doesn't say much.

To be clear, he doesn't own it because he encroached upon it. He owns
it because a court degreed that he does. Based upon adverse possession.
If you'll make it worth my time, I'll get copies of the court order and
the deed.
