Practice question: Review of Decree of Registration

Multiple Choice Medium Jurisprudence

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?
  1. Yes; every property claim is necessarily 32 review.
  2. Yes; possession can never matter to any remedy.
  3. Only the year of the claimant's birth controls.
  4. No; identify the distinct action and possession-based prescription analysis.
  5. A decree automatically validates every later fraud without remedy.
