Document Summary

Review: last class was about adverse possession and how limitation statutes in relation to interests in land have been interpreted combined with possessory interest in land and possession in land creates a presumption in the estate. The limitation extinguishes the estate of the p(cid:396)io(cid:396) estate holde(cid:396). Ex: if i was in possession of your summer chalet under a license from you. I do(cid:374)"t ha(cid:448)e a(cid:374) estate i(cid:374) the la(cid:374)d not even a leasehold estate. If someone comes along and enters into it. I do not have title to sue in ejectment. What i ha(cid:448)e is so p(cid:396)e(cid:272)a(cid:396)ious that i (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t get (cid:396)id of this pe(cid:396)so(cid:374). I(cid:374) asher, the idea was to say that possession creates a presumption of seisin in fee. This is how the judges are rationalizing to say that they will treat the possessor as having an estate. It sta(cid:396)ts f(cid:396)o(cid:373) plai(cid:374)tiff"s i(cid:374)he(cid:396)ita(cid:374)(cid:272)e. the o(cid:396)igi(cid:374)al possesso(cid:396) is st(cid:396)o(cid:374)ge(cid:396) tha(cid:374) the other.
