What state? The laws about adverse possession vary from state to state. In some states, you have to adversely possess it for 21 years, in others it is a lesser period of time.
The next question is whether your actions actually constituted "adverse possession" or may have been done with the knowledge and permission of the owner.
Contact a lawyer for further advice. You may have to begin a "quiet title" action against the record owner of the property.

It depends upon the state that you live in. Check with an attorney. In my state, there is a law that states that you can claim ownership of property after a certain number of years of maintaining that property. Check with an attorney.

Not likely, but you really aren't giving any details. What size of property, where, what is on it, and what rights are you trying to get.

It is a 15 year rule. After that time you can sue for it.
