Bailey v. Moten
Annotate this CaseThis case arose when Josephine Bailey petitioned to quiet title under OCGA 23-3-60 et seq., asserting that she owned an adjacent property at issue by deed and, in the alternative, by prescription. On appeal, Bailey appealed the order of the superior court adopting the report of a Special Master and decreeing that fee simple title to the parcel of land at issue was vested in Derether Moten. The court held that the judgment of the trial court that Bailey did not have title to the property by virtue of deed was not error; the trial court did not err in adopting the report of the Special Master and denying Bailey's claim of adverse possession; and that Moten's quitclaim deed was the only deed placed before the Special Master that described an interest in the property and it was not error for the trial court to adopt the Special Master's conclusion that title was vested in Moten. Accordingly, the judgment was affirmed.
