To repeal laws relating to adverse possession

HB 5385 would repeal three specific sections of West Virginia's legal code (§55-2-1, §55-3-1, and §55-3-6) that currently govern adverse possession laws. Adverse possession allows someone to gain legal ownership of property by openly occupying it for a set period under certain conditions. This bill would remove these provisions from state law, directly affecting property owners and occupants who might have relied on or challenged adverse possession claims. The change would eliminate the legal framework for such claims, though it does not create new rules or specify alternative procedures.
