Georgia's adverse possession period is:

While 7 years is a real adverse possession period in Georgia, selecting only '7 years' as the answer is incomplete and therefore incorrect — it only describes the scenario where color of title exists and ignores the 20-year period that applies when no written instrument supports the claim.

Ten years is not a recognized adverse possession period under Georgia law; it appears as a distractor and may cause confusion for students familiar with other states such as Florida (7 years with color of title, but different overall framework) or federal adverse possession rules on certain public lands.

Twenty years alone is also an incomplete answer — while it correctly states the period for adverse possession without color of title under O.C.G.A. §44-5-161, it fails to account for the shorter 7-year period available to claimants who possess a defective written instrument, making it an oversimplification of Georgia law.
