[WSBARP] Waste Statute of Limitations- Exceptions

Wed Feb 13 09:49:17 PST 2019

I recommend you go to Avvo.com; they have a general question board that is open to the public and you can ask specific legal advice questions; this listserv is not the appropriate forum for specific legal advice.

Best of luck.

Indeed, I already have and was told there's not really anyone who specializes in waste/timber trespass of that nature. One attorney I've contacted was very interested, but seems to not have read the statutes they quoted in reply (not recognizing the waste statute allows trebel damages), though they did seem to agree about the statute of limitations. The best recommendation I got was for an attorney representing my neighbor I'm already having a dispute with... So I'm feeling kind of stuck now.

Naturally I would argue the latter, but that also seems to be the case from what I've found so far regarding timber trespass. It would seem inappropriate a developer is allowed to knowingly commit waste on adjacent properties and simply hope no one notices for three years. Thanks for the reply.

Your legal question is:   did the requisite statute of limitations occur when the trees were cut or did it start upon the discovery or when a discovery should have reasonably been made? The answer would require some research.

Hello, I came across this list and was hoping I could impose for some opinions. I'm a homeowner in Snohomish County and have been doing research for a dispute I'm having with a neighbor. As a result I've discovered waste was committed on my property by the developer of several properties adjacent to mine, they removed several significant boundary trees I was previously unaware were on my property. I've found the site condition maps done at the time that clearly document the tree locations, but the removal occurred about 5 years ago. I'm wondering if I would still have an opportunity to bring action against the developer since I've only just discovered the injury? Thank you.
