Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Bennett finds the lower court properly determined the ownership of three contested areas of real estate by three property owners. The complainant claims she was the owner of two of the areas as they were considered part of her front and back yards and that she had maintained them for the 20 years that she has lived in her home; she also contends she has usage rights to the third area as it is an easement and access point to her property. The lower court found that she was not the owner of any of the areas, that she did not present sufficient evidence to support her claims of common law adverse possession to the two yard areas, nor did she prove that she acquired prescriptive easement over the third area. The instant court finds no error with the lower court’s findings. Affirmed.
