Rights of Parties in Possession
An exception regarding "Rights of Parties in Possession" will be acceptable provided that the ROW PD:
- makes a careful site inspection of the parcel with respect to occupancy;
- signs any necessary waiver of inspection required by the title company; and
- advises the ROW Program Office that there are no parties in adverse possession of the property when the title insurance commitment is submitted.
This exception applies only to one or more persons who are actually physically occupying the property when there are no recorded documents evidencing their claim to the property.
