Q: My Grandfather fought in court for his land since he had since he was 16. He built a small house there.
Then met my grandma and had 4 kids (never married). They broke up when my mom was in her early teens. He moved in with an other woman. Years later my grandma passes and his son lived in the home on and off. In Vieques there was some property thing that happened and his son put his name on that paper work. My grandfather didn't know he did that. Years later he and is son went to court to try and fix the paper work since his son is claiming everything is his now. He lost because the time expired for him to fight it. Now my grandfather's lawyer is saying that legally the house was never in question. Just the land and that the house belongs to him and his 4 children (inheritance). My uncle is claiming no. Is there away to clear this up and is it true what his lawyers said?
A: So you're talking about property in Vieques, Puerto Rico? If so, you must consult an attorney who is a member of the Puerto Rico Bar Association (either a lawyer in Puerto Rico or one who is a member of that Bar but practices elsewhere). Also, even if you were talking about property in Florida, you would not be able to get an answer for your issue on-line because documents would need to be reviewed, and questions would need to be asked, in order to evaluate the matter.
