Absolutely NOT true in New York. Adverse possession requires #1 the use is adverse. #2 it must be done out in the open and not in the dark of the night.
Paying taxes has absolutely nothing to do with it. You can pay the taxes on my farm for the next 50 years if you like, and it will give you no standing in a court of law.
To even begin a claim of adverse possession, you must prove that the owner of the land told you to stop using it, and you went and did it anyway. That is the "adverse" part. It is also tresspassing if the property owner can catch you. The other requirement is that you, the taker can prove the owner knew about the use, i.e. it was out in the open. Sneaking onto somebodys land for years when they're not around and don't know doesn't amount to anything. I've had people try twice to take some of my land and they failed each time. They were misinformed by a clueless lawyer and didn't have a leg to stand on.
