What is the physical evidence required for adverse possession of land?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jamnisek v. The Estate of Gordan A. Wyant, 2021 ONSC 66 (CanLII):
It is not necessary, in order to establish actual possession, that the land in question be surrounded by a fence or otherwise enclosed. Enclosure is strong evidence of adverse possession, but it is not required in order to establish adverse possession. See: Laing v. Moran, at paras. 31-35.
