Double adverse possession

I surveyed a 1/2 acre parcel a few years ago and in tracing the deeds back and hearing the history from the elderly gentlemen at the local diner that grew up near there I discovered this.?ÿ A very long time ago, a homeless guy built a log cabin at a creek intersection and lived there for 20+ years.?ÿ Some time later, a lady acquired one acre around the cabin through adverse possession.?ÿ A handful of owners?ÿ transfer with the same "bounds" legal description for the next thirty years and then a guy decides to cut off and sell a half acre of the one acre and sell it with a "metes" description.?ÿ Several deeds later, my client buys the 1/2 acre conveyance and builds a new brick house nestled in this beautiful creek bottom.?ÿ He decides to purchase some acreage upstream for deer hunting purposes and calls me in to survey the new place adjacent to his.?ÿ My survey turned up some surprising facts, one being that he doesn't own the land his driveway is on and the second is that he doesn't own almost all of his front yard.?ÿ The guy that cut off the half acre long ago, never sold the remainder 1/2 acre and has since passed.?ÿ There are wills and legal rigamarole and there is no option to buy his front yard.?ÿ It is very secluded and naturally bounded by a creek and hostile terrain on the other side.?ÿ He always thought he owned it and has been there the requisite time for this state.?ÿ I think he may be able to acquire that parcel through adverse possession again.?ÿ This is the only case I know of where a piece may be adversely possessed twice.?ÿ I expect that to be an expensive and slow process but that is the direction this one is heading.
