lawrocket 3 #51 April 2, 2008 QuoteNo real improvements were made to the property in order to demonstrate adverse possession. You don't need to. QuoteWood chips and or landscape gone over the line and wood piles are not real improvements. No. Not improvements. But certainly demonstrate "use." And the order stated there were rock wall and lanscraping. QuoteThe lot was properly surveyed, and in fact was recorded in a subdivsion plat. Relevance? QuoteIt was awlays known that the land did not belong to them, the markers of the property need not be visible, as quite often the corners of the property are marked with iron pipe driven to below the soils surface. That's what makes it "adverse possession." QuoteSome of you may think I am wrong, but I remind you that I am a Land Surveyor, trained in the division of, and determination of the proper ownership of land, you are not. I don't claim to know how to survey land. I know nothing of the techniques, reports, etc., for land surveying. But I know how the law generally treats these things. I can REALLY comment on California law, and generally comment on common law. The surveying of the property is not an issue. The title to the property is not an issue. The law is an issue. I respect your opinion on most things, but in this one, you aren't looking at the laws. The Judge explained it in his judgment. The boundaries have nothing to do with it. The use of the property and the non-use are the compelling factors under the law. Quoteopen theft of land Indeed. Open. And notorious. My wife is hotter than your wife.

I saw no landscaping, the the rock wall is on the crooks property, barely protruding into the disputed lot."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

lawrocket 3 #53 April 3, 2008 Which is hopefully enough for a new trial.I feel for them. I do. And 4 things can happen in court: 1) You win what you should win; 2) You lose what you should lose; 3) You win what you should lose; or 4) You lose what you should win.
