Occupy Defined
"Occupy," as used in the second element of boundary by acquiescence, means that [name of plaintiff] has used [his or her] property up to the visible line in a way that would put a reasonable person on notice that [name of plaintiff] treats the visible line as a boundary between the adjoining properties. Examples of activities that could constitute occupation are farming the property, placing homes or other structures on the property, improving the property, irrigating the property, using it to raise livestock, or similar uses.
