Shay Hurd v. Larry E. Henley

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment awarding Henley title to the portion of Hurd’s land occupied by Henley’s former shed and surrounding area, while leaving title to the larger shop area with Hurd. It held that Henley’s shed, graveling, parking, and related uses sufficiently established continuous, open, notorious, exclusive, and hostile possession for the statutory period. The court also held that the awarded parcel was described with sufficient certainty and that the statutory good-faith requirement requires only a sincerely held, subjectively good-faith belief, not an objectively reasonable one.
