Yorlum Props., Ltd. v. Lincoln County
Annotate this CaseCarol Miller, the owner of two adjacent parcels of real property, conveyed one of the parcels to the Biggerstaffs in 2005. In the conveyance, Miller purported to reserve an easement over the Biggerstaffs' parcel for the benefit of her retained parcel. In 2006, Miller conveyed her retained pracel to Yorlum Properties. Later, a dispute arose among Yorlum, the Biggerstaffs, and Lincoln County concerning the validity of the reserved easement. In 2011, Yorlum filed the instant action seeking to quiet title to its property and access rights. The district court granted summary judgment to Yorlum. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the easement over the Biggerstaffs' parcel was valid; (2) The Biggerstaffs and Lincoln County failed to establish any basis that Miller lacked title to convey to Yorlum; and (3) Yorlum's complaint was not barred by equitable principles.
