title by limitation

title by limitation
See adverse possession; title by prescription. title by prescription.. A title which may be acquired by use and time. The elements of such a title are open, visible, and continuous use under a claim of right, adverse to and with the knowledge of the owner. While a title by prescription does not rest upon statutes of limitation, the courts incline to consider a prescriptive period as analogous to the time fixed by the law of the state as to limitations for commencing actions for the recovery of real property. See F. C. Ayres Mercantile Co. v Union P. R. Co.(CA8 Col o) 16 F2d 395, 399. See adverse possession; prescription; presumed grant.
