What are the difference between adverse possession and permissive possession?

In: Property Law, Adverse Possession, Deeds and Ownership [Edit categories]

Answer:

Adverse possession is without the permission of the owner. Permissive possession is with the permission of the owner. If you have the permission of the owner to use the property that means you can never make an adverse claim to wrest title from the owner.
