Cole v. Bonaparte'S Retreat Prop. Owners' Ass'n, Inc.

INMAN, Judge.

When a grantor who owns one parcel of land and adversely possesses an adjacent parcel without color of title conveys both parcels to grantees by deed that describes only the parcel in which the grantor holds title, the grantees may not tack their time of possession to the grantor's time to satisfy the statutorily prescribed period for adverse possession. Further, a trial court may not impose an easement when neither party has raised the issue, the easement is not suggested by the evidence, and the relief results in substantial prejudice to the owner of the servient parcel.
