Wolfe v. Porter

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the period of plaintiff’s grantor’s possession could not be tacked on to period of plaintiff’s possession where title by adverse possession was inchoate and deed did not convey inchoate rights
• stating that “[e]ach predecessor must have claimed title to the property in dispute, and in transferring to his successors must have purported to include it”
• where title by adverse possession is inchoate, a deed by a grantor which fails to convey such inchoate right is ineffective to create privity which allows tacking
