Court Reviews Whether Plaintiff was Barred from Bringing Suit because Defendant was Presumptive Owner of Property at Issue

ELMER ELLIOTT, JR. v. PEARL ELLIOTT, ET AL. (Tenn. Ct. App. May 4, 2011)


The trial court granted summary judgment to defendants, finding that plaintiff was ousted from the property at issue, that defendant Pearl Elliott was the presumptive owner of the property due to recordation and payment of property taxes, and that plaintiff's suit was statutorily barred. We affirm.
