IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ETOWAH COUNTY ALABAMA

Jonathan Leftwich,

Plaintiff

v.

Nellie Griffin Simpson, Annie Jo Griffin, Myrtice G. Myers,

James Homer Griffin, Robert M. Griffin, Cecil S. Griffin,

Nancy B. Griffin Sprayberry, Charles S. Griffin, and

Fictitious Defendants I-Z, who are the other heirs of

Martha Alice Griffin, whose identities and whereabouts

are unknown, and all other persons claiming any present, future,

contingent, remainder, reversion, or other interest in the lands described herein

and

Lot Number Two (2) according to the resurvey of the Darling Gardner property made by Jerry Respess, Civil Engineer, as the same appears of record in Plat Book “B”, Page 369, said re-survey being a part of Block Number Two (2) of the McBuffie and Gardner Addition to the City of Gadsden, which Addition is recorded in Plat Book “B”, Page 123 in the Office of the Judge of Probate and lying and being in Gadsden, Etowah County, Alabama, together with all improvements located thereon.

Defendants

1. This action is brought pursuant to §§ 6-6-540, Code of Alabama (1975).

2. This Complaint amends and, to the extent it conflicts, supersedes the Plaintiff’s Complaint previously filed in this case.  

3.  Plaintiff is and has been since 2003 in the actual, peaceable, notorious, adverse possession of the property described below, claiming to own the same, and has held and holds color of title to the property, being the fee simple interest so claimed, for a period of ten or more consecutive years, and Plaintiff has duly assessed and paid ad valorem taxes thereon during Plaintiff’s period of ownership.  The Plaintiff has made improvements to the property described herein and has incurred expenses for upkeep and maintenance.

4.  The legal description of the subject property is as follows:

Lot Number Two (2) according to the resurvey of the Darling Gardner property made by Jerry Respess, Civil Engineer, as the same appears of record in Plat Book “B”, Page 369, said re-survey being a part of Block Number Two (2) of the McBuffie and Gardner Addition to the City of Gadsden, which Addition is recorded in Plat Book “B”, Page 123 in the Office of the Judge of Probate and lying and being in Gadsden, Etowah County, Alabama, together with all improvements located thereon. (the ‘Property”)

5. The Defendants herein are the Property and those persons named above, who are believed to be of legal age, and any and all parties claiming any present, future, contingent, reversionary, remainder, or other interest therein who may claim any interest in the Property.  Plaintiff is not aware of any such persons who make such claims who are not individually named herein as defendants.

6. There are no other named defendants hereto because the Plaintiff has made diligent inquiry and has not been able to ascertain any other person making claim to or interest in the Property.

7. The Plaintiff holds color of title to the Property.  The Plaintiff’s interest was obtained from his parents, Ronnie L. Leftwich, Sr., and Brenda Y. Leftwich.  Deeds to Ronnie L. Leftwich, Sr., are recorded at D-2002-4839 and D-2003-1036.  Ronnie L. Leftwich, Sr., died on October 12, 2010, and his estate was probated in the Probate Court of Etowah County, Alabama, Case No. S-6183.  The surviving spouse of Ronnie L. Leftwich, Sr., was Brenda Y. Leftwich, who inherited her husband’s interest in the Property pursuant to the Last Will and Testament of Ronnie L. Leftwich, Sr.  No deed was made from the Estate of Ronnie Lamar Leftwich, Sr., to Brenda Y. Leftwich.  Brenda Y. Leftwich died on October 13, 2014, and her estate is probated in the Probate Court of Etowah County, Alabama, Case No. S-8230.  Jonathan Leftwich was appointed executor of the estate of Brenda Y. Leftwich, and Jonathan Leftwich inherited the Property pursuant to the Last Will and Testament of Brenda Y. Leftwich.  A Warranty Deed from the Estate of Brenda Y. Leftwich to the Plaintiff, Jonathan Leftwich, is recorded at Inst. # 3417050, Probate Office, Etowah County, Alabama.

8. The Plaintiff does not know of any person who claims any interest in the Property except as alleged in this Complaint.

9. There is no suit pending to test or determine the title to or any interest in, or right of possession of the Plaintiff in or to the Property and no suit is pending to test or determine any other title to, interest in, or right of possession of, the Property.   

10. The Plaintiff has named as defendants hereto all persons who have had possession of the Property or any part thereof within ten years next preceding the filing of this Complaint or who are known to Plaintiff to claim any part or interest in the Property.

     

Wherefore, the Plaintiff amends its prayer for relief as follows: (1) that the Court keep the Guardian ad Litem to represent the interests of the unknown parties; (2) that the Court enter a judgment or decree that the Plaintiff has the entire and undivided fee simple interest in and to the Property with no restrictions thereon; and (3) that the Court enter such other relief as the Court deems proper.
