Generally, a person cannot claim adverse possession on behalf of a deceased owner. Adverse possession requires that the claimant possess the property in their own right, not as a representative of another. In the scenario described, since the daughter inherited the property from her mother, she would not need to claim adverse possession; she already has legal ownership of the property through inheritance. Adverse possession typically applies when someone occupies land without the owner's consent, which is not the case here.
