[WSBARP] Mutual Recognition and Acquiescence with Housing Authority

[Jeff Davis]

Listmates,

 

Client and local housing authority have been neighbors for over 40 years,
with a common fence between their properties.  Authority recently surveyed
its property and determined the fence was over onto its property.  It demand
the fence be taken down or moved asserting that client could not adversely
posses against a government entity.  Assuming that claim is correct, would
the housing authority be subject to a  mutual recognition claim?  It is
clear adverse possession and mutual recognition are two distinct theories.
Mutual recognition is based upon an implied agreement through words or
action as to the correct boundary between properties.  Have any of you had
experience with this issue?  Any insight would be appreciated.
