559.09 REMOVAL OF BUILDING ERECTED IN GOOD FAITH.
When any person, in good faith and under color of title, and with good reason to believe that
the legal title to land is vested in the person, has erected any building or other structure thereon,
when the legal and equitable title thereto was vested in another, such person may remove the
same, doing no unnecessary damage, and in so doing shall be liable only for the actual damage to
the land. Such removal shall be made within 60 days after the determination adversely to that
person of any action or proceeding respecting the title, or within 60 days after notice from the
holder of the legal title to remove the same; provided, if, within 60 days after receiving such
notice, such person brings action to try such title, that person may make such removal within 60
days after the determination thereof.
