Here are the basic facts:
1) You must prove that you care about the property; visit it from time to time,
let's say every three years, or
2) have someone you trust look after it and call you every so often about the
status, ie. if anything has changed like someone has planted something or put up a
wall or hung a picture of his/her mother in law in the kitchen.
3) Put up an electrical barking guard dog and come every two years to change the battery.
4) If it's land make sure that no new olive trees have been planted. Count the trees when you come, or better yet, count the olives.
5) Remember, if someone has been taking care of the land and gathering the olives from the trees for twenty years, your barking up the wrong tree thinking they are yours; your batteries have run out.
6) Important: The squatter does not have to inform the owner that he's moved in and taken over; it's the owner's responsibility to care of the property.
7) If there is joint ownership, let's say grandfather gave the property to you and 17 other cousins, then the cousin actually taking care of it, or living in it, must notify the rest of the heirs that he/she has started the twenty year stretch.
