Trepass to try Title

"Trepass to try title" is a legal action that allows someone to challenge ownership of a property. If a person believes they have a claim to a piece of land but the title is held by someone else, they can bring this action to court. The purpose is to clarify who has the rightful title to the property, often through evidence of use or possession. This method was historically used in English common law to resolve disputes over land ownership, and it essentially seeks to "try" or test the validity of the title against competing claims.
