Murphy (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 928, 940 .) “ ‘In most of the cases asserting [the requirement of a claim of right], it means no more than that possession must be hostile, which in turn means only that the owner has not expressly consented to it by lease or license or has not been led into acquiescing in it by the denial of adverse claim on the part of the possessor.’ ” (Felgenhauer v.
