They can ask, and even sue, for the property back but it’s not a guarantee that they’ll win.

They're guaranteed to win if the person they're suing can't afford to live for years embroiled in litigation.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Often companies will pretend they can drag out a case for years when they can't, and simply hope no one calls their bluff.
