New York Court of Appeals
William Culver, Respondents v. Mary C. Rhodes, Appellant
January 17, 188287 N.Y. 348
Summary
The Court held that the deed conveyed by the life tenant to her daughter did not create an actual, hostile, and notorious possession sufficient to oust the co‑tenants, and therefore the defense of adverse possession failed. Accordingly, the lower court's judgment in favor of the plaintiffs was affirmed.
