Adverse Possession

  My home has 2 1/2 acres.my neighbor is attempting to adversely possess 1/4.Can I sell clear of title.(what is clear of title?)
 
  Clear title is undisputed ownership.  If you have clear title, you can pass on to the next ower complete security that you owned the place and that no one else has claims on it.
Your own lawyer is the one to judge what the situation would be if you wanted to sell.  No way I can tell as I don't know the status of the adverse possession claim.
