Don't worry, you losing your property that way probably would never happen. If the property is registered in Land Court than nobody can take it away from you. Nobody can claim title by adverse possession to parcels larger than five acres either. No claim can be made against a minor or mentally disabled. If the property is registered in the Regular System then it's 20 years but there are other requirements for the adverse possession. It has to be actual, open and notorious, exclusive, continuous and under claim of right. Adverse possession will not grant title, they still have to go through the legal system to "quiet the title."
