vividraven26 I can't even begin to deal with this right now. I mean, seriously? It’s just... unbelievable. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though. Maybe I should have seen this coming from a mile away. Honestly, it's just ridiculous.
A lawsuit to force them to return the land just so it can be sold? I don't know... maybe. It feels like it’s going to drag on forever. Just one of those endless legal headaches.
They’ll sign off saying it belongs to you, sure, but you’re still going to be stuck paying property taxes on three feet of extra width unless you drag this through the courts to get it settled. I guess that's just how the system works. Maybe. But yeah, you're basically paying for air until a judge steps in.
Because we're dealing with entirely different sets of legal regulations here... I mean, come on. It's a completely different ballgame under these specific statutes. |
In Canada, they still aren't paying taxes. But I guess that’s going to change eventually... sooner rather than later, once Kevin Garcia14 gets his way.

First things first, you’ve gotta get that second part transferred into your name, otherwise you’re stuck holding the bag and won't be able to sell a thing since it isn't officially yours.
As for the transfer process, I'm pretty sure you'll need signatures from all four owners to make it stick, though I can't say for certain without double-checking the paperwork.
Thanks for the reply and the help. Dealing with the transfer is going to be a nightmare if everyone actually has to sign, but I suppose it's worth a shot.
Eventually, there’s going to come a time when land taxes in Canada have to be paid, and that's when the transfer will become mandatory—they'll force the issue until it's officially in my name. 😁

Thanks for the input and the help. But there's a massive issue here. My property is supposed to be 33 feet wide, but she basically just grabbed 10 feet of it to build a driveway. Now my actual lot is only about 23 feet wide. I mean, seriously... how am I even supposed to build a house and have a driveway on a 23-foot lot? xD🙂
So, I’ve got two sisters and two brothers—five of us kids total. My dad left us all equal shares of some farmland, about 1,800 sq ft each.
I’m looking to sell my portion, but I’ve hit a snag. Honestly, I can't tell if this is a massive headache or just a minor nuisance. 🤦
On paper, I own 1,800 sq ft, but the actual physical reality on the ground tells a completely different story.
Here is the deal: My sister’s plot sits right next to mine. She basically just bulldozed her way onto my land—about 350 sq ft of it—without any permits or permission whatsoever, just to build herself a private road. 😠 🙂
How on earth am I supposed to get my land back?
The whole situation is messy because my farmland is split into two distinct sections (for some reason, it’s the same mess for my siblings too).
The first section of my land has the correct dimensions, and I hold full ownership, 1/1.
The second section doesn't match the dimensions at all—mostly because my sister essentially snatched part of it—and technically, I only hold a 1/5 stake there. It looks like the title transfer from my father hasn't been fully finalized for that specific piece (and apparently, it hasn't been finalized for my siblings' portions either).
Do I need to fix the title first and get that second part moved into my name as 1/1 before I can even attempt to deal with the encroachment?
And when it comes time to finalize the transfers for everyone, am I going to need signatures from all four of them, or just a majority?
What should I actually do here? What is the fastest, least painful way to settle this mess? 🤔
I need someone to walk me through this step-by-step, in the exact order things need to happen.
Thanks in advance.
