  2. Richards v. Freeman

    1952 OK 174 (Okla. 1952)   Cited 3 times
    In Richards v. Freeman, 207 Okla. 100, 247 P.2d 731, we held that a title by prescription is available either for attack or defense.

    "The title to real property acquired by prescription or adverse possession is respected in courts of equity as well as in courts of law; and the title so acquired is available either for attack or defense; and this is so whether the action is legal or equitable in its nature. The judgment of the court in the instant case that the adverse possession of defendant for more than 15 years ripened into title in defendant by prescription is supported by the decision by this court in Mitchell v. Graham, 193 Okla. 347, 143 P.2d 815, wherein we held: "The 15-year statute of limitations on actions for recovery of realty held adversely begins to run against minors and others under legal disability when right of action for possession accrues the same as against adults, but an additional two years after majority or removal of disability is granted in which to commence action".
