What is the test for adverse possession of a property?

This case is on all fours with People v. Denman (2013) 218 Cal.App.4th 800. We agree with the analysis and conclusion of that case. In People v. Denman, supra, 218 Cal.App.4th at pages 804-807, the defendant recorded quitclaim deeds and homestead declarations on nine properties that he believed were abandoned in order to acquire them via adverse possession. The defendant placed tenants at the properties. (Id. at pp. 805-806, 807.) The defendant had no claim of title to or interest in the properties (id. at p. 807), and was convicted of 20 counts of violating Penal Code section 115 (People v. Denman, supra, at p. 804).
