[WSBARP] Long-Term Adverse Possession

[Marcus Fry]

Tom:
I'm on vacation but I'll give you a quick answer. I deleted the emails that you sent me.
I would probably treat him as tenants and give them a 20 day notice terminating tenancy at end of May and if they're not out then do a eviction.
As to the unknown people I would just address the notice to unknown occupants.
I think this would be way faster than an ejectment and since they were permitted treat them.as tenants as opposed to guests.

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?
