Can adverse possession be used to obtain ownership of community property

Yes it can.  Adverse possession requires continuous, open, hostile and notorious possession of the property for the periods required under Nevada statutes.   “There can be no adverse possession if that possession is with the permission of the owner of the property.” 25 Corporation, Inc. v. Eisenman Chemical, 101 Nev. 664, 674, 709 P.2d 164, 171 (1985).  Therefore a third party can take property held as community property so long as the possession and claims are hostile and notorious to all owners of the property.  However adverse possession would not be hostile as between joint owners of a property (such as Husband and Wife) because there would be nothing notorious or hostile about holding property in which one has rights of possession as a co-owner.
