Lee v. Hansen

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• adverse possession claimants must establish that they have had “actual, open, notorious, exclusive, continuous and hostile possession of the premises for the full statutory period of 10 years under claim of right or color of title”
• possession of realty under the mistaken belief of ownership satisfies the element of hostility without the need for further inquiry into the claimant’s subjective intent, but the belief must result from pure mistake, rather than a mistake based upon conscious doubt
