Homes continued to pay all utilities for the property.
On December 26, 1995, petitioner executed a quitclaim deed
to transfer the Bowmen Lane property to Uprite Homes for the
stated consideration of $130,000. Uprite Homes recorded the
December 26, 1995, transaction with petitioner in its general
ledger by reversing petitioner’s sales transaction and recorded
debt to the corporation and by recording a $112,326 debt from the
corporation to petitioner. The December 26, 1995, deed from
petitioner to Uprite Homes was not filed in the records of
Washington County, Oregon.
During the 20-day period that petitioner purports to have
owned the Bowmen Lane property, he continued to store his
personal belongings in his camper. He did not do his laundry in
the house and used none of its kitchen appliances. He had no
telephone service, garbage pickup, newspaper delivery, or
television. He knew none of his neighbors.
On December 26, 1995, Uprite Homes executed a statutory
warranty deed to transfer title to the Bowmen Lane property to
the Webers for the previously agreed consideration of $160,500.
