Subject: [WSBARP] Long-Term Adverse Possession

 

The standard/usual burden of proof falls on the party who is claiming
real property through adverse possession.  It is my vague recollection
that there is a doctrine that says that if the use of the real property
is long-term, the burden falls on the party resisting the adverse
possession to prove that there is no adverse possession.  That is,
long-term adverse possession shifts the burden of proof from the
"claiming" party to the "resisting" party.  I can't find that doctrine
now.  Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
