Back to my adverse possession case...a property line question.
Is there any requirement in the City of Seattle that property lines must be
a straight line? Seems that every survey I've dealt with in Seattle, the
lines are always straight.
So what if an adverse possessor prevails on a claim of use of an area say 8
feet wide and 20 feet long in the middle of the property line? Is there
anything to prevent the Court from ordering that the boundary be adjusted to
award the claimant just this "chunk" of land ?
Stated otherwise, it would seem unfair to move the entire line 8 feet simply
because the claimant has used a 20 foot section.
Thanks for input from folks with survey/land use experience!
