Miles оwned а trаct оf lаnd in fee simple. Fifteen years agо, Miles built a barn on five acres that he believed were part of his property. One year later, Miles discovered that the five acres on which he had built his barn were not part of his property. The five acres actually belonged to Blake, who owned the adjoining property. The year following the discovery that the five acres belonged to Blake next door, Blake died, leaving all of her property to her one-year-old daughter, Ines. Miles has brought a quiet title action against the now 14-year-old, Ines. The statutory period for adverse possession in this jurisdiction is 10 years. Miles has not paid any additional property taxes to account for the five acres for any of the past fifteen years.Who will prevail?

Subsequently, the only child died intestate, survived by a son, Lucas’s great-grandson.At the present time, what interest in the land does the great-grandson have?
