BRUNSON v. HEMLER

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit (2008) | 989 So.2d 246

3 min read

TL;DR: A family that openly fenced and farmed land for over 30 years successfully claimed ownership from the record title holders through acquisitive prescription, despite the owners' claims they never saw the activity.

Legal Significance: Affirms that open, visible acts of possession like fencing and farming provide sufficient public notice to a record owner for acquisitive prescription, without requiring direct, personal notice to the title holder.
