Chaplin v. Sanders
Court Washington Supreme Court
Citation
Date decided January 26, 1984

Facts

The Hibbards set up a trailer park around their land in 1958; they treated a drainage ditch as the boundary. They built a road to access the trailer park.

In 1960, the neighbor Murray found that the road Hibbard had built encroached on the Murray property.

In 1962, the Hibbards sold their trailer park.

Rule

The actions of a property possessor determine the hostility element of adverse possession.
