Q: i need advise on issues arising from land
i bought land over 12 years ago with the building where I recently live and recently i was told there was a case on the land and judgment was given to another family.... whats the implication and how do I protect my right of ownership.
A: In a situation where you've been informed of a land dispute and a judgment has been awarded to another family regarding the land you purchased over 12 years ago, it's essential to take swift and decisive action to protect your ownership rights. First, gather and carefully review all relevant ownership documents, including your deed and title insurance policy. Next, obtain a copy of the judgment to understand the basis for the decision.
A: Start checking into the problem by hiring a LA attorney to search the title.
