It was owned by my mother's uncle and he gave her perimission to live there. He gave her a handwritten letter statiing that he gave her permission to dwell on the said parcel of land and to run lights and water. He passed away a mere three years after and the deed to all lands went to his wife. My mother started paying the land ren tin the 1980's of which I have one original receipt, however upon his death his wife told my mom that she not renting land to anyone and therefore she not accepting any rent.<br />I am now of age and trying to find out our rights. Throughout the years we have developed the land, we have renovated etc. I want to know if we have rights to the land and how I could pay for the years rent and continue paying, maybe by some kind of standing order.<br />My guess is if they could have gotten us out of there, they would have done so a long time ago. They're always making some kind of problems when it comes to the land, however they have never done anything about it and as I said above, we have done renovations and developed the land as it is hilly land throughout the years.<br />Your assistance and or advice will be greatly appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579793611910834836.post-24455316009552828092014-02-25T16:51:05.694-05:002014-02-25T16:51:05.694-05:00Hello good day,
