First, you would be trespassing so entering the building would not be "legal". Second, if your trespass was not noticed by the owner or reported by the neighbors, you would need to use the property openly and without permission for a number of years in order to have the basis for an adverse possession claim. Then, in most jurisdictions you would need to establish your claim by a court decree.
However, you would be unable to have any utilities "turned on" because you would not be the owner of the property. Living in a dwelling with no utilities or sanitary facilities would be against the laws affecting public health codes.

If ive found a boarded up house and want to enter it to squat and claim adverse possession how can you do this legally?
You will have to take a look at the Adverse Possession laws for the jurisdiction in question. In most cases you have to live there for five to ten years to claim ownership without any sort of complaint being filed. The owner can always charge you with trespass, breaking and entering and other crimes, if they are aware enough of what is going on with their property, so there is always the risk of going to jail.
Can an Adult child living with mother claim adverse possession after her death if the house is in a sister's name?
The child was living in the house with permission. Permissive use is a bar to any claim of adverse possession. I assume the property is owned by a second child.
Can someone who has lived in a house rent free for forty years claim possession?
Generally, if the person was using the property with the permission of the owner they are barred from claiming adverse possession. You should consult with an attorney about drafting a written agreement regarding the use of the property.
What is adverse possession?
Every state has different laws regarding adverse possession. You need to discuss your particular situation with an attorney. In general, the five elements that must be met to have a claim of adverse possession are that the possession are as follows:1. Open and notorious. Your possession must be in a manner that is overt (done right out in the open), not covert. Your possession must be seen. That gives the owner notice that you are in possession and the opportunity to eject you.2. Actual and uninterrupted. That means that you actually have possession and control over the land in question, without the owner's consent, and that possession is not only occasional.3. Exclusive. You are the exclusive possessor and actually entered the property for the required period of possession which varies in different jurisdictions.4. Hostile. That means that you treat the land in question as your own against the rights of the legal owner. Adverse possession is not created when you have the permission of the landowner to use his land (so a long-term tenant cannot claim adverse possession).5. Made under a claim based in good faith. Those seeking equity must do equity. So if you acted in bad faith somehow, your claim would be barred. For example, moving the fence to a position where you knew it didn't belong would be considered bad faith.You must have met all five of these elements to qualify for adverse possession. You have the burden of proving you met each element. You must have met these elements for the statutory period required in your state. In most states your title would need to be perfected by a court action.ImportantIf you believe that you have a claim of adverse possession, or are facing an adverse possession lawsuit, you should see a real estate attorney immediately. Adverse possession is a complicated area of law, and you don't want to take it on without the guidance of a qualified counselor at law. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law.

You can't. The city or town must take possession of the property for non-payment of property taxes, clear the title and then the town can sell the property to a new owner.Through a claim of adverse possession you could set up residence in the house, pay all the taxes, improve the property and then wait several years (5 to 20 depending on state law) until you have met the state requirement to file a claim of adverse possession. Then, in most states you would need to clear the title through a court decree.You can't.

Can you have a deed on a relatives land if they said you could put a home on a corner of the property in wyoming?
Not unless the relative gives you one. You have permission to use the land (to put a house on). That means your possession is not adverse, so you can't get deed to the land (not even the land the house is physically on) no matter how long you occupy it.
When do you take possession of the house?
2010. We'll probably take possession of the Senate, too.
Can you have a deed on a relatives land if they said you could put a home on a corner of the property in wyoming just until you pass on then your relatives have 30 days to remove your belongings?
That sounds more like a lease. You would essentially not own the land, just the rights to put a house on the land and to live there. Possibly you might see what terms would be if you chose not to live there (job relocation, rent it out) and so on. You would certainly want to consider how much of a house you put on the land, since you probably would not be able to ever sell it.My guess is that you're wondering about adverse possession. The issue there is that your possession is not adverse: you have permission. Any time you spend occupying the property with the owner's permission is irrelevant; you have to be there without the permission of the owner (and, in Wyoming, must be aware that you do not own the land) for your occupancy to count towards the adverse possession time limit.
