It can, under some conditions.  And the number of years can depend on other facts as well, although usually the number is 20.

There is a lot more to this sort of thing, though, and you would be buying cheap insurance by consulting with a real estate attorney in your area.  One place you can start looking for qualified lawyers is our website, http://attorneypages.com
