Practice question
A claimant remains in actual possession asserting ownership for many years and seeks the kind of quiet-title/reconveyance relief discussed in Cavinti. No protected purchaser issue is established. Is the one-year decree-review period alone a complete answer?
- Yes; every property claim is necessarily 32 review.
- Yes; possession can never matter to any remedy.
- Only the year of the claimant's birth controls.
- No; identify the distinct action and possession-based prescription analysis.
- A decree automatically validates every later fraud without remedy.
