Quoting%20commentary for Bava Batra 83:9

במה דברים אמורים במחזיק אבל בנותן מתנה והאחין שחלקו והמחזיק בנכסי הגר נעל וגדר ופרץ כל שהוא הרי זו חזקה:

A MAN HAS NO <i>HAZAKAH</i> IN THE PROPERTY OF HIS WIFE NOR HAS A WOMAN <i>HAZAKAH</i> IN THE PROPERTY OF HER HUSBAND. A FATHER HAS NO <i>HAZAKAH</i> IN THE PROPERTY OF HIS SON NOR HAS A SON <i>HAZAKAH</i> IN THE PROPERTY OF HIS FATHER. THESE STATEMENTS APPLY ONLY TO CASES [WHERE OWNERSHIP IS CLAIMED] ON THE GROUND OF POSSESSION. IN THE CASE, HOWEVER, WHERE LAND IS PRESENTED AS A GIFT, OR OF BROTHERS DIVIDING AN INHERITANCE, OR OF ONE WHO SEIZES THE PROPERTY OF A PROSELYTE,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A proselyte who dies without (Jewish) issue has no heirs, and his property after death falls to the first occupier. ');">¹⁷</span> OWNERSHIP CAN BE CLAIMED AS SOON AS THE FIRST STEP HAS BEEN TAKEN TOWARDS MAKING A DOOR OR A FENCE OR AN OPENING.
