Ben and Kelly are neighbors in a suburban neighborhood. Ben builds a concrete driveway along his property line but due to an error by the paving company, the driveway extends three feet onto Kelly's property. Kelly notices this and talks to Ben about it. They agree that the driveway will stay as long as Ben lives in the neighborhood. Twenty two years later Ben moves away. Kelly is still there and demands that the new owners remove the portion of the driveway on Kelly's property. The new owners claim they own the strip of the driveway by virtue of adverse possession. Are they correct? Have all the elements of adverse possession been satisfied?
