Shmuel said to those who lend seed grain to the sharecroppers to be returned in new grain (which should be forbidden on account of lending a se’ah for a se’ah): Cultivate the land for yourselves in the field that you may solely own this portion of the land (and the seeds given back from this portion will be your seeds to begin with, and not a loan), for if not, it will be accounted as a loan to you, and therefore forbidden.

We explore the legal concept of adverse possession in Roman and Jewish law.
