A quick definition of tacking:

Term: Tacking

Definition: Tacking is when someone adds their period of land possession to that of a previous owner to establish continuous adverse possession for the statutory period. This means that they are treating the periods of possession by different people as one continuous period. For example, if someone owned a piece of land for 5 years and then sold it to someone else who owned it for another 5 years, the second owner could tack their 5 years onto the first owner's 5 years to establish 10 years of continuous possession for adverse possession purposes.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Tacking refers to the joining of consecutive periods of possession by different individuals to treat the periods as one continuous period. This is often used in cases of adverse possession, where a person adds their own period of land possession to that of a prior possessor to establish continuous adverse possession for the statutory period.

Example: John owned a piece of land for 5 years, but then sold it to Sarah. Sarah owned the land for 3 years before selling it to Tom. Tom owned the land for 2 years before selling it back to John. In this case, John can tack his previous 5 years of ownership onto his current ownership to establish continuous possession for the statutory period required for adverse possession.

Explanation: The example illustrates how tacking can be used to establish continuous possession for adverse possession. John's previous ownership of the land can be added to his current ownership to meet the statutory period required for adverse possession. This means that John can claim ownership of the land through adverse possession, even though he did not continuously own the land for the entire statutory period.

Hi everyone! Decided a bit too late that I wanted to go into law. GPA currently stands at 3.76 (one more semester to go) and I'm interested in going into immigration law. Anybody got any advice for LSAT studying and applications? I plan on taking a gap year to have some time for internships and such :)

Apply for the LSAT fee waiver to try to mitigate the cost of materials! 7Sage is $1 for a year if you have the fee waiver. I also think you should try to work in an immigration firm in some way to see if it’s something you really want to pursue and to add to your resume. Good luck!!! One tip I would also give is to not sign up for the LSAT until you’re practice tests average are around the score you’re aiming for
