View source for Adverse intent

The terms &quot;claim of right,&quot; &quot;claim of title,&quot; and &quot;claim of ownership,&quot; when used in the books to express adverse intent, mean nothing more than the intention of the dissessor to appropriate and use the land as his or her own to the exclusion of all others, irrespective of any semblance or shadow of actual title.
