Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

No. You can only acquire rights if you were deeded the property, under color of title (someone thought they were deeding the property to you) or by adverse possession.

How long have you owned the property? Paid taxes? How long did any predecessors own the land and pay taxes? If you meet the grounds for ownership under these provisions you could bring an action to quiet title/assert adverse possession rights. See a real estate lawyer who practices in the county where the land is located.
