The plaintiffs failed to prove adverse possession of the 1st Land or the 1997 instruction and acceptance by the defendant; the defendant had, on the evidence, effective exclusive possession from about 1977 (and in any event held title by assignment), the $50,000 payment was not shown to be contribution to legal costs for a Family claim, and the plaintiffs' factual case was insufficient; accordingly the plaintiffs' claims fail and the defendant is entitled to rely on his title/counterclaim and to costs.
