§ 1047 Adverse Possession Transfers
This law says if someone owns land but someone else is using it without permission, the owner can still sell or give away the land like they're using it themselves.
Imagine you own a piece of land, but your neighbor has been using it to grow vegetables for many years without asking you.
Even though your neighbor is using the land, you can still sell it to someone else. The new owner will have the same rights to the land as you did.
