PatMurphy said:My father has a piece of land that a neighbour has used for about 30 years as a short cut to his house. There have been numerous arguements about this piece of land which is about 20' X 35' and small court case about discrupting the peace etc. The home owner has now filed a claim to take ownership of the land. (Before I forget: In previous court cases he has admitted the property is not his and he is not willing to buy it) My fathers lawyer has said it could take $15, 000 in court fees and if they win he may even have to pay their expenses too. How can this be? Is it possible for my father to sell the property (sqaure of land to someone else) and therefore it would be a new owner etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Pat

is the guy next door willing to spent his €15k on the case ?

Assuming the land is in Ireland, if you have used your real name as your AAM username, it is possible that you might conceivably prejudice your case should your neighbour read AAM.
If you want any of the admins or mods to delete this thread just ask.

Is "lawyer" a US term? I've used and have heard it used often enough here in Ireland.

Where? In the land registry or in the Circuit court?. The home owner has now filed a claim to take ownership of the land.
