Simple English definitions for legal terms

claim of title

Read a random definition: SO.

A quick definition of claim of title:

A claim of title is when someone believes they own a piece of property, even if they don't have the legal right to it. This can happen when someone takes possession of land without permission from the true owner, or when someone intends to take over land regardless of who actually owns it. It's also called a claim of ownership or claim of right.

A more thorough explanation:

A claim of title is when someone possesses a piece of property with the intention of claiming it as their own, even if they do not have the legal right to it. This is also known as a claim of ownership.

For example, if someone starts living in a vacant house and takes care of it for a certain amount of time, they may claim ownership of the property through adverse possession. This means they have been using the property as their own and have no intention of giving it back to the true owner.

Another example is if someone builds a fence on their neighbor's property and claims that the land is theirs. This is a claim of title because they are asserting ownership over the land, even though they do not have the legal right to it.
