Supreme Court of Alabama
Historic Blakeley Foundation, Inc. v. Christine Elizabeth Williams and Christopher A. Williams.
May 7, 201040 So. 3d 698
Summary
The court held that neither Christine nor the Foundation could obtain quiet title to parcel “C” or the triangle parcel because both parties presented evidence of actual possession, making neither party’s possession peaceable. It also upheld the assessment of the guardian ad litem’s fee against the Foundation because that cost determination was within the trial court’s discretion. The judgment was therefore affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with instructions to dismiss the competing quiet-title claims concerning those parcels.
