Glenn Michael Prax, Phillip G. Prax, and Marianne P. Kittredge, Appellants v. Victoria J. Zalewski, Appellee

Summary

The court held that the 2003 amendments to Alaska's adverse-possession statutes govern Zalewski's claim because her alleged title had not vested before the amendments took effect. The amended statutes require an adverse possessor claiming land within adjacent property boundaries to prove a good-faith belief of ownership. The court reversed and remanded because the trial court had not allowed the parties to litigate good faith and needed to reconsider the claim under the amended statutes.
