California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 2 — Property, Part 4 — Acquisition of Property, Title 2 — Occupancy, Section 1006
Occupancy for any period confers a title sufficient against all except the state and those who have title by prescription, accession, transfer, will, or succession; but the title conferred by occupancy is not a sufficient interest in real property to enable the occupant or the occupant’s privies to commence or maintain an action to quiet title, unless the occupancy has ripened into title by prescription.
Notes
Establishes that occupancy for any period gives title effective against everyone except the state and persons holding title by prescription, accession, transfer, will, or succession. Occupancy alone does not provide enough real-property interest to bring or maintain a quiet-title action unless the occupancy has matured into prescriptive title.
