Landowner sues 7 over Koblerville lot
A landowner has filed a lawsuit against seven persons to clear the title of his 6,450 square meters of land in Koblerville.
Jesus Laura Atalig sued Doo Young Jang, Yun Sir Park, Lee Ho Kun, Hwang Kyu Hyun, Shin Rin Bae, Shin Hoon, and Lee Eun Baik, all Koreans.
Atalig, through counsel Joaquin DLG. Torres, asked the Superior Court to require the defendants to set the nature of their claims to the property. Torres demanded that all adverse claims to such property be determined by a court decree.
The decree, Torres said, should adjudge that Atalig owns in fee simple, and is entitled to peaceful possession of the land and that defendants have no estate, right, title, lien, or interest in or to the property.
The lawyer said the decree should permanently enjoin each defendant from asserting any adverse claim to the title to the property.
Torres stated in the complaint that Atalig inherited the land from his wife, Emilia A. Atalig (deceased) as a result of a probate.
In 1992, Emilia Atalig entered into a 55-year lease agreement with defendant Jang as lessee for the lot containing 6,450 square meters.
Jang subsequently divided the land into five lots, Torres said.
Jang then transferred by assignment of lease the 2,827 square meters of lot to Park; 825 square meters to Kun; 990 square meters to Hyun, Bae and Hoon; and 990 square meters to Baik.
Torres said that in March 1996, the Superior Court, pursuant to a stipulation to terminate Jang’s right to the 6,450-square meter lot, terminated and extinguished all of Yang’s rights on the property in its entirety.
