Attorney
Highlights
The Plaintiff filed an action against a hospital claiming a prescriptive easement across the hospital’s property for access to his adjoining property. Attorney Karen Taillon filed a cross-complaint to quiet title, and after extensive discovery and negotiations, successfully resolved the entire action on the eve of trial through a series of agreements between the Plaintiff, his children (successors to his property), the City of Laguna Beach, and the hospital.
The benefits to the hospital included Cummins & White’s ability to preserve the hospital’s title, minimize the Plaintiff’s use and long-range ability to impact the hospital’s title, and ensure the hospital’s ability to use the property as part of its master plan while preserving its relationship with the City of Laguna Beach and the open space easement created for the city’s benefit.
