Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Humboldt County, Kurt L. Wilke, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Chicchelly, P.J., Buller, J., and Blane, S.J. Opinion by Blane, S.J. (12 pages)
Property owners appeal the district court order finding adjoining property owners were entitled to a boundary establishing their possession of a disputed 8.5-foot strip of land between the properties. OPINION HOLDS: Finding the trial court misapplied the law as to acquiescence and adverse possession, and the plaintiffs failed in their proof as to declaratory judgment, we reverse and remand.
