§ 1322 Land Boundary Reputation Evidence

Key Takeaways

  • •People can talk about what others in the town usually say about land borders or local land rules.
  • •This is allowed even if it's not firsthand info, as long as it's what the community generally believes.
  • •The info must be from before any argument or fight about the land started.

Example

Two neighbors are fighting over where their backyards end.

A judge might let an old-timer in the neighborhood say, 'Everyone here has always known the fence line as the border,' even if the old-timer didn't measure it themselves. But this only works if people agreed on this before the fight started.
