In Michigan, adverse possession requires continuous possession for 15 years. Since you haven't lived in or maintained the property for that duration, you won't be eligible to claim it through adverse possession yet.
Is there anything else I can help you with regarding this property or any other legal matter?
It's abandoned and vacant been that way for four years is there any other way
Since adverse possession isn't an option due to the *-year requirement, you might consider other methods like contacting the local government or the owner to express your interest in purchasing the property. You could also check if there are any tax liens on the property and potentially acquire it through a tax foreclosure sale.
