Annotate this CasePetitioners David, James and Carolyn Austin and Robert Guinto appealed a superior court order that denied their petition to quiet title and ruling that Respondents Lester and Sophie Silver had a deeded right-of-way over the petitioners' lot. On appeal, Petitioners argued that the trial court erred when it determined that certain deeds were ambiguous. They contended that based upon the plain language of the deeds at issue, Respondents never obtained a right-of-way to cross their land. Upon review, the Supreme Court upheld the trial court’s determination based upon the language of the pertinent deeds as well as its factual findings regarding the circumstances surrounding the relevant conveyances, Respondents had a deeded right-of-way over Petitioner's lots.
