Degann v. Hunanyan
Defendants and appellants Anna Hunanyan also known as Anna Hunanyan-Meguerian also known as Azniv Meguerian, and Lucy Meguerian appeal from a judgment quieting title to certain property in favor of plaintiffs and respondents Jonathan Degann and Tina Degann (the Deganns). Appellants and the Deganns are adjacent landowners, and the Deganns believed that the property they purchased included certain outdoor improvements. A survey revealed that part of the improved area included appellants’ property. Following a bench trial, the trial court ruled that the Deganns had established all elements of adverse possession. It specifically ruled the Deganns’ evidence that their property had been assessed on the basis of their purchase price, coupled with evidence that they considered their purchase price to include the visible improvements, was sufficient to demonstrate they had paid property taxes on that portion of appellants’ property.
