Howard v. Kunto
Washington Court of Appeals
477 P.2d 210 (1970)
A decades-old surveying error meant that a chain of deeds, including one eventually conveyed to Kunto (defendant), described land different from what each successive owner actually occupied and improved (including a dock Kunto's predecessor built); when Howard (plaintiff) discovered the error via a 1960 survey and arranged deed swaps with a neighbor to obtain record title to the land Kunto occupied, he sued to quiet title, and the trial court found Kunto - who had personally occupied the land less than a year - hadn't satisfied adverse possession's time requirement.
Whether using property only as a summer home constitutes sufficiently uninterrupted possession for adverse possession, and whether a claimant may tack a predecessor's occupancy time onto his own to satisfy the statutory period.
