The district division of the circuit court is a court of limited jurisdiction
with powers conferred upon it by statute. RSA 502-A:14 (2010) (identifying
jurisdiction of district court in civil cases); see RSA 490-F:3 (Supp. 2013)
(conferring upon circuit courts powers and duties of former district courts).
Although it has the power to entertain possessory actions under RSA chapter
540 (2007 & Supp. 2013), it does not have jurisdiction to resolve issues of title
or actions in equity. See Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co. v. Kevlik, 161 N.H.
800, 803 (2011); Woodstock Soapstone Co. v. Carleton, 133 N.H. 809, 816
