DUGGAN, J. The petitioner, L. Hamlin Greene, appeals the order of the Superior Court (Smukler, J.) denying his petition to quiet title to certain land in Alton. We reverse.

HICKS, J. The petitioners, Richard and Paula Porter, appeal the decision of the Superior Court (Morrill, J.) granting summary judgment to the respondents, Kevin and Susan Coco, on the Porters’ petition to quiet title and establish boundary line. We reverse and remand.

The plaintiffs, Kevin and Susan Coco (the “Cocos”), have filed an action against the defendant, Doris Jaskunas (“Jaskunas”), seeking damages or relief stemming from an adverse claim and an action to quiet title advanced by abutting property owners, Richard and Paula Porter (the “Porters”), to include attorney’s fees incurred in this action. The Cocos have moved for summary judgment, to which Jaskunas has objected. Jaskunas has filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. The Court held a telephonic hearing on March 14, 2008, and thereafter received additional legal memoranda, and documentation concerning attorney’s fees and costs breakdowns. After review of the parties’ arguments, the submissions, the pertinent facts, and the applicable law, the Court GRANTS both motions for summary judgment in part and DENIES them in part.
