[WSBARP] Question about Quiet Title action

[Scott Hildebrand]

All

I am hoping there is a boundary line guru out there who can provide some
guidance on this one:

 

PC has acreage that is abutted by a neighbor who has stated their right to a
portion of his land via adverse possession. The claim stems from a fence
that is on the interior of PC's property. PC has asserted their rights in
writing in response to the verbal claim.

Opposition has done nothing to assert their rights except to clear some
brush. This is remote wilderness land and PC wants to assure that opposition
can't take via adverse possession.

Does PC need to file a quiet title action, perhaps an injunction? Or, since
the AP claim has never been reduced to anything other than a verbal
assertion, should PC just let it go until the opposition files a quiet
title?

 

Thanks,

Scott Hildebrand
