Kerry 15,You have the possession but not the adverse bit. So you may be out of luck.
But as land is involved you should always check with a solicitor.
Allow me to play devil's advocate. Why shouldn't the estate be split equally between the siblings? If your grandmother wanted some other arrangement, wouldn't she have written it down at some stage in the last 30 years?My fathers siblings are now claiming this land needs to be sold so they can get their fair share (as they put it)
Kerry 15,
Case here in Donegal ,
When owner of land died (mother)the brothers/sisters claimed that since land was never willed to the son who had used the land for years that on the owners(mothers) death they then had a claim on the land.
Once he ie long term user of the land, showed he had had single farm payments on it for years, the judge ruled that he retained effective title and in effect owned it for his time.
Now that this man ie long term user has died , there is another war going on , since other bros/sisters can now claim ownership on the basis that all he had was possession not ownership.
Suggest; get a competent solicitor.
