Multiple Choice

In Budland, Jereigha builds a fence around her home that crosses the property boundary and encloses part of her neighbor Peyton’s land. Jereigha planted and kept a garden of lilies in the ten foot by twenty foot area which is described in Peyton’s title deed. Jereigha continued to maintain the garden despite claims by Peyton’s that the garden was on her land. Budland has a five year statute of limitations regarding adverse possession. 

If Peyton sues 4 years after the fence is built against Jereigha for ejectment: 

1

Peyton will lose because Jereigha possessed the property for 4 years

2

Peyton will prevail because Jereigha possessed the property for 4 years 

3

Peyton will prevail unless Jereigha has color of title 

4

Peyton will lose even if Jereigha lacks color of title

1

Peyton will prevail, in an ejectment suit, because she approved the possession

2

Jereigha will prevail in an ejectment suit because she maintained the garden

3

Jereigha will prevail in an ejectment suit

4

Peyton will lose, in an ejectment suit, even if she approved the possession

Multiple Choice

Tiara and Jasmine bought adjoining tracts of land. Jasmine built a house on her property. The house encroached 12 feet onto Tiara's land. Jasmine used the house sporadically as a vacation home. Since Jasmine worked and had an inconsistent vacation schedule, her visits were infrequent and sometimes as much as four to seven months apart. Tiara discovered the encroachment 12 years after the house was built, when she had a new survey made of her property. She told Jasmine to move the house from her land, but Jasmine replied, “That house has been there for more than 10 years, and I’m not moving it.”

Based on the foregoing, in a jurisdiction which has a 10-year statute of limitations for the recovery of land, it is most likely that

1

Jasmine will not have to remove the house since the house was built 12 years ago.

2

Tiara may force Jasmine to remove the house because Jasmine

was not exclusively in possession.

3

Tiara may force Jasmine to remove the house because Jasmine was not continuously in possession.

4

Jasmine will not have to remove the house if she built it in good faith.
