Two case studies – law questions
Please discus those two question below. Minimum 80 words
each question…
Q1: As the result of a survey in 1976, the Nolans discovered
that their neighbor’s garage extended more than a foot onto their property. As
a result, Nolan requested that his neighbor, Naab, tear down the garage. The
Naabs refused to do this, stating that the garage had been built in 1952 and
had been on the property when the Naabs purchased it in 1973. In West Virginia,
where these properties were located, there is a ten-year statute of limitations
covering adverse possession of property. Were the Naabs able to claim title to
the land on which the garage was situated by adverse possession? Explain.
Q2: Hines stored her furniture, including a grand piano, in
Arnett’s warehouse. Needing more space, Arnett stored Hines’s piano in Butler’s
warehouse next door. As a result of a fire, which occurred without any fault of
Arnett or Butler, both warehouses and their contents were destroyed. Hines sues
Arnett for the value of her piano and furniture. Decision?
