Twenty-two years ago, Lorenz was a wanderer. At that time, he decided to settle down on an unoccupied, three-acre parcel of land that he did not own. People in the area told him that they had no idea who owned the property. Lorenz built a house on the land, got married, and raised three children while living there. He fenced in the land, installed a gate with a sign above it that read "Lorenz's Homestead," and removed trespassers. Lorenz is now confronted by Joe Reese, who has a deed in his name as owner of the property. Reese, claiming ownership of the land, orders Lorenz and his family off the property.

Discuss who has the better "title" to the property.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The person that has the better title to the land is Joe Reese due to the fact that he has a legal document (Deed for the land in his name) recognised by the law showing that the land belongs to him.

This document (deed) is an officially document that helps to keep track of informations of those who owns a land and the location where the land can be found. For the fact that, Lorenz did not make an official enquiry from the relevant office neither did he have a legal documents to abck him up, shows that, he has no right to the land despite the fact that he has lived in the land over the past 20 years.
