Yes on the comment about speaking with the previous owner, since Adverse Posession in most states requires the possession to be hostile, open, notorious and with color of title for the entire statutory required time period. That hostile requirement normally means the possessor would have been "in the face" of the original owned had the question ever come up during that period.
