Adverse Possession—Plaintiff Acquired Ownership of Garage and Part of Underlying Property by Adverse Possession—Quiet Title—Trespass—Negligence—Conversion—Legal Ownership Is Not a Bar to an Adverse Possession Claim

This decision involved an action to, inter alia, quiet title. The plaintiff had moved for partial summary judgment. She alleged that she had "acquired title to a portion of defendants' property and a structure thereon by adverse possession …." The defendants argued that since the alleged possession was "neither hostile nor exclusive, extant questions of fact on the issue of adverse possession preclude summary judgment." The court granted the plaintiff's motion, in part.

The complaint asserted causes of action to "quiet title, for declaratory judgment, trespass, negligence, nuisance, and conversion."
