What’s in it
AI summary If neighbors agree to treat a certain line or marker as their property boundary for many years, that line becomes the permanent legal boundary. Even if neighbors later buy the land next to each other so they own both sides, the old boundary stays in place. If the owners later agree to a different boundary and follow it for many years, that new line will then become the permanent one.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to disputed land boundaries and corners.14 provides that boundaries and corners recognized and acquiesced in for a period of years shall be permanently established boundaries and corners.14. The bill provides that common ownership of adjacent tracts where acquiesced boundaries and corners have been permanently established does not terminate the acquiesced boundary and corners previously established through self-execution. Under the bill, adjoining parties may subsequently recognize and acquiesce to new boundaries and corners and if subsequently recognized and acquiesced in for a period of years those boundaries and corners become permanently established.
