Woodard v. Hennegan

128 Cal. 293 ·

Supreme Court of California · Filed

Published · citable

Holding

The court held that a vendee in possession under a bond for deed cannot establish adverse possession against the vendor while that contractual relationship persists, as such possession is deemed subordinate to the vendor’s legal title; the vendee’s repudiation of the contract and refusal to pay the balance due entitles the vendor’s representative to maintain an action for possession.
