A stranger walks up to your house, rings the doorbell, and you answer the door. “Hi”, he says, “I’m Jeff and I need to let you know that, well, the house you’re living in, is actually mine.” You start to laugh and then realize that Jeff is serious so you inquire how your house could possibly be his. He tells you that years ago, his great grandparents bought the property and built the original structure that you refer to as your house. You tell him, that you see where he’s gone wrong because this property has been in your family for three generations. “But it was my family’s before it was yours.”,he retorts.He shows you an actual deed as proof that the property is, in fact, his. “Ahh”, you tell him, “That’s the problem. Your deed is no longer valid. Since the property was originally owned by my ancestors and my grandparents just claimed legal ownership by historicity.
