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?
