Peaceable Possession

Possession that is continuous and not interrupted by adverse suits or other hostile action intended to oust the possessor from the land. 472 S.W. 2d 825. The term often refers to parties in adverse possession of land, and thus has nothing to do with actual ownership. 167 P. 2d 390. “Peaceable possession” does not preclude the existence of adverse claims, so long as no actual attempt to dispossess is made. 57 So. 706. Actions to quiet title generally require a showing of peaceable possession by the one bringing the action. See 47 So. 202.
