Two wrongs don't make a right. And if you had PROOF that SHE forged the will, was it reported to the authorities?
The will is on file with the court. An investigator was hired to help us prove the will was forged and they concluded that the witnesses that signed it could not be located and the notarization was invalid. Im not sure how to proceed any further on that.

You stated it is just open land..this isn't Actual, Open, and Notorious Use of it. Are you also trying to claim it away from the co-owner?
No absolutely not. We'd eventually like to work with the co-owner to develop the property.

In addition of the co-owner is aware of your intent and has granted permission to visit the land, that would be permissive use and you could never qualify as adverse possession.


Additionally you would have a claim only to land can claim actual possession of. I'm guessing you can't claim such on the whole 289 acres.

Then, to claim title you would have to sue for it. You would have to include the co-owner in your suit. You can't claim adverse possession of a 50% interest.

if you believe you have a VALID claim to a share why not continue the probate process.
we do have valid claim to a share but we also cannot locate my grandfathers wife either. I guess the next step is we will petition to administer the estate.
