Property issue -My father gave us a land
2 years ago
My father gave us a land (not registered) asking us to build a house and keep it yourself. We built a house and staying there for the past 14 years. Now they are asking back the land saying we didn't registered it in your name. What should we do now?
A.Dear Client
When someone wants to claim ownership of land that's not theirs, it is called Adverse Possession. To claim Adverse Possession you would need to make an application to the Land Registry. The Land Registry have a strict set of criteria you must meet before you can claim land you do not own. Without registration, a buyer has no legal right over the property.
Thanks

Since the land was given to you in kind of gift orally then you can file a case for title suit and try to prove that the land was given to you in an oral agreement. Also try to meet a local lawyer with all the documents and information to explore if the law of adverse possession can be invoked here.
