[WSBARP] adverse possession

[J. B. Ransom]

The point is:  The common owner 1) told you what he intended when he signed
a SW Deed with a legal description on it.  Assuming the legals on the two
SW Deeds from the CO don't overlap, the common owner has said I'm selling A
this and B that.  If CO acquired title to part of one parcel by adverse
possession what does it matter?  CO deeded what he deeded.

Second, if CO gave a SW Deed to A and the owner of the other parcel has a
claim for an encroachment or claim of adverse possession against what was
deeded to A then the CO pretty much did him or herself a bad thing.  CO
would now be liable for attorneys fees to fix the problem, value of lost
property ....  Those are ugly lawsuits.  Hard to imagine CO is going to say
he did not mean what the SW Deeds say.
