Richard Titus, et al. v. Soni & Sons Limited Partnership Agreement
In a citation opinion, the Third District affirmed a Monroe County judgment resolving a real property title dispute. The cited authorities confirm that a duly executed deed containing a description sufficient for a surveyor to locate the land vests the grantor's title in the grantee upon delivery, and that title may alternatively be acquired by adverse possession under color of title where the land is described in a recorded written instrument and possessed continuously for seven years. The court also endorsed the rule that a good-faith quitclaim deed can satisfy the color-of-title requirement.
