Tennessee Court of Appeals Upholds Boundary Line Decision in Property Dispute
The Tennessee Court of Appeals has upheld a decision regarding a property boundary dispute between Ugne Adams Aronson and Michael and Kasey Waller. The case involved adjacent lots in a subdivision where the parties disagreed on the location of the shared northern corner. Ugne Adams Aronson had her property surveyed, which identified an artificial monument referenced in a 1981 survey as the boundary marker. However, this monument was later removed, prompting the surveyor to place a new one in the same location. The Wallers also conducted a survey, but their surveyor did not find a monument at the disputed corner and instead relied on courses and distances from the 1981 survey to set a new monument. The chancery court ruled in favor of Aronson, determining that her surveyor's findings accurately reflected the boundary line, thus granting her ownership of the disputed area. The Wallers appealed the decision, but the appellate court affirmed the chancery court's ruling.
