Kraft v. Kraft, et al.

Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Plymouth County, Tod Deck, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Doyle, P.J., and Mullins and May, JJ. Opinion by Mullins, J. (11 pages).

Argued by Attorney Joel D. Vos for Appellant Julie Kraft and Attorney Nathan J. Rockman for Appellees.

Julie Kraft appeals an adverse summary judgment ruling on her petition for partition and quieting of title. She argues the court erred in determining the statutes of limitation contained in Iowa Code sections 614.17, 614.17A, 633.487 and 633.488 (2018) were applicable to bar her cause of action.

OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the entry of summary judgment pursuant to sections 614.17 and 614.17A. We find it unnecessary to address the alternative grounds for summary judgment relied upon by the district court.
