Assignment task:
In 2010, Makena Bernice decided to purchase a vacant building lot located in Texas. Through her real estate agent, she contacted the person who appeared to be the owner of the lot, Eden Enterprises, Inc. The parties agreed on a sales price of $50,000 for the lot. After payment was delivered to Eden, Eden signed the deed over to Makena. Makena immediately took possession of the back half of the lot and constructed a home, living in the home for five years. During that time period, she only occupied the back half and did not put up any fencing or post any signs declaring her ownership. Unbeknownst to Makena, Eden never owned the lot, but had actually filed a fraudulent deed three years prior to the sale. In 2015, the real owner, Godin Realty, arrived at the property and began to build a home. The applicable statute of limitations is three years. How would you respond if you were Makena Bernice?
