A2 Creative Group, LLC v. Anderson
Missouri Court of Appeals
596 S.W.3d 214 (2020)
- Written by Darius Dehghan, JD
Facts
Gary and Cristina Worden owned property in a subdivision. For 11 years, the Wordens maintained the trees and plants on a 400-square-foot tract of land that they believed was part of their property. The Wordens later sold their property to A2 Creative Group, LLC (A2) (plaintiff), which was owned by Kathy and Jason Ayers. The Ayerses utilized the 400-square-foot tract of land as a driveway and walkway and also maintained the trees and plants on the land. The Wordens and Ayerses consecutively occupied the land. After Soheil Anderson (defendant), a neighboring property owner, commissioned a survey of her property, it was revealed that the 400-square-foot tract of land was actually part of Anderson’s property. The Ayerses had never asked permission from Anderson to utilize or maintain the land. Eventually, A2 filed suit, contending that it had acquired title to the land by adverse possession. The trial court ruled in favor of A2. Anderson appealed.
