Terra Ceia Estates, a Corporation v. Nannie E. Taylor

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's decree, holding that the trial court correctly resolved the partition, rejected Terra Ceia Estates' adverse possession claim, properly stayed proceedings concerning Millie A. Prime's independent claim, and could not consider a demurrer or evidentiary objections that were not raised at the final hearing. The Court also affirmed that partition suits may settle title disputes without violating the right to a jury trial.
