(b) When title of patented land is questioned, a party is not required to prove that the land was patented. A patent shall be presumed in favor of the party showing a title otherwise good.
(c) Acts of exclusive user and ownership are admissible to prove possession. Actual evidence of enclosure is not necessary for this proof.
