See, for example, "Through a process called usucapión (believe it or not the same word exists in English) someone else can actually have more rights than the deed holder. The history of usucapion is an important fact in the history of Roman jurisprudence, and Costa Rican laws are based on Roman law. Usucapion is the acquisition of ownership by possession." at http://www.amcostarica.com/050304.htm
