Wright v. Sourk

McAnany, J.:

Brian and Jody Wright and Carolyn Sourk own adjoining residential properties in Cherryvale. This dispute involves title to a 22.5-foot-wide strip of property at the boundary. Although Sourk was the titled owner of the property, a jury found the Wrights adversely possessed tire property for more than 15 years under a good-faith belief in ownership.

In 1956, Sourk’s parents bought Lots 9 through 16 in a residential neighborhood and built their home on Lot 13. Sourk was 8 years old at the time the land was purchased. In 1979, Sourk’s parents sold Lots 9, 10, and 11 to Wayne Van Dyne.…
