Gina owns Lot A. In 2015, Marco enters Lot A and takes possession under a deed from a private grantor who later is shown not to have owned the land; Marco builds a dwelling and continues to possess openly and adversely up to the present. It later emerges that the deed is forged and the grantor never owned Lot A. Gina seeks ejectment and recovery of Lot A. (a) State the controlling doctrine on the effects of possession relevant to this case. (b) Does Marco’s possession satisfy ordinary acquisitive prescription (good faith and just title) given the forged deed? Explain. (c) If not, could Marco still acquire ownership by extraordinary prescription, and what would be required for that to happen? If not, explain Gina’s proper remedy.
