In Louisiana, adverse possession is called acquisitive prescription.

• A. Will
• B. Acquisitive prescription
• C. Testate
• D. Eviction

Answer: (B)

Louisiana uses the term acquisitive prescription for adverse possession. In this system, someone can acquire ownership by possessing land openly, continuously, and against the true owner for a legally prescribed period, even without a deed. The exact period depends on whether the possessor has just title and good faith (ordinary prescription) or no title or good faith (extraordinary prescription). Will refers to a document that passes property at death, testate describes someone who dies leaving a will, and eviction is about removing someone from property—none of these are about acquiring ownership through possession. So acquisitive prescription is the correct concept for adverse possession in Louisiana.
