Wagensellerlaw.com-A recent real estate litigation lawsuit before the California Court of Appeals case addressed an attempt by a co-tenant in undeveloped land to claim adverse possession against the other co-tenants. In Hacienda Ranch Homes, Inc. v. Superior Court of San Joaquin County (Elissagaray), the Court of Appeals reiterated the elements of adverse possession, especially when asserted against a co-tenant, and ordered the trial court to reverse its prior ruling and to grant summary judgment in favor of the other co-tenant.
