Which of the following best describes adverse possession in relation to those under disability?

The correct choice highlights an important legal principle related to adverse possession and individuals under disability. Adverse possession allows a person to claim ownership of land under certain conditions, typically involving continuous and exclusive possession for a specified period. However, this general rule is modified by specific protections for individuals classified as under disability, which may include minors or those deemed mentally incapacitated.

When it is stated that it does not run against specific protected groups, this acknowledges that those individuals who are legally recognized as being under disability are afforded certain protections from the adverse possession statute. This means that while a claim for adverse possession may be accruing against other parties, the time frame does not run against these protected individuals during the duration of their disability. This protection ensures that individuals who may not have the capacity to be aware of or to assert their rights regarding property cannot lose those rights simply due to the passage of time while they are under disability.

The other options suggest different interpretations of how adverse possession interacts with individuals under disability, but they do not align with the legal protections afforded to those individuals. The recognition of these protections serves an essential purpose in maintaining equitable access to property rights and preventing potential abuses of the adverse possession doctrine.
