Practice question
An out-of-possession claimant files an ordinary constructive-trust reconveyance action fifteen years after title issuance. The applicable ordinary ten-year rule governs, and no exception, tolling or other basis exists. May the claimant avoid that period solely by saying 32 is inapplicable?
- No; distinguishing 32 does not eliminate the separate applicable reconveyance limitation.
- Yes; every non 32 action is automatically timeless.
- Yes; any claim of fraud always suspends every period forever.
- Only counsel may choose whether time passes.
- The ten-year rule applies only to private rent.
