DISSENTING OPINION BY

STRASSBURGER, J.:

“Adverse possession is an extraordinary doctrine which permits one to achieve ownership of another’s property by operation of law.” Pennsylvania Servs. Corp. v. Texas E. Transmission, LP, 98 A.3d 624, 634 (Pa. Super. 2014) (quoting Flannery v. Stump, 786 A.2d 255, 258 (Pa. Super. 2001)). “It is a serious matter indeed to take away another’s property. That is why the law imposes such strict requirements of proof on one who claims title by adverse possession.” Edmondson v. Dolinich, 307 Pa.Super. 335, 453 A.2d 611, 614 (1982).
