Billy Ray Blankenship v. TKY Acquisitions, LLC

TKY Acquisitions, LLC (“TKY”) and its predecessors in title have owned the property now in dispute (“Subject Property”) since as early as 1922. The company introduced its chain of title during these proceedings. No evidence existed that someone other than TKY and its predecessors in title claimed ownership of the Subject Property. Although never in his chain of title, Billy Ray Blankenship’s father added the description of the Subject Property in a deed to his son dated and recorded in 2010. However, both before 2010 and after 2010, TKY paid property taxes on the Subject Property. TKY offered clear and convincing proof of payment of property taxes by it and its predecessors in title regarding the Subject Property from at least 1999 through 2022.
