Estate of Price v. Hodkin

ORME, Judge:

¶1 Plaintiff Amy Allen Price (Amy) 1 brought an action to quiet title in a property's mineral rights by challenging a deed that had been recorded 47 years earlier. Because Amy and her predecessors unreasonably delayed in bringing suit after obtaining constructive knowledge of the cause of action and because their lack of diligence likely prejudiced the defendants to her quiet title action, we hold that the district court improperly granted summary judgment in favor of Amy. We thus reverse the summary judgment *1287 and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
