        I need an advise, Im stressed so much. The scenario is my grandfather has 2 sons – my dad and uncle. My dad has 1 son and my uncle has 3 sons. My grandfather, dad, uncle and 2 sons of my uncle has passed away. My cousin is married and Im single. We separated last year including lands through Taksim because Im currently staying in another country and my representative is my sister.

        Now, my cousin’s father-in-law is so greedy – he is fighting to us that he will choose which land will go to my cousin. The decision of the land was made between by my cousin’s uncle (his mom brother) and my mom (insert older adults as well). They keep on disturbing us, they keep on calling people to inform us that we did unfair to them..

        Could someone please let me know what we can do on this?

        Im happy to provide more info if needed.

          NAL – You first need to confirm if the land division (Taksim) is officially documented? If the division was signed, registered with authorities, or notarised, it is legally binding. If it was only an informal agreement (like verbal or a family meeting without documents), it’s weaker, but still strong if witnesses were present. The father-in-law has no legal standing. He is an outsider. Only the heirs (you and your cousin) can make legal claims. The father-in-law cannot dictate which land the cousin gets. If they want to challenge, they must go to court. No private threats, calls, or complaints to you change anything. Document every harassment attempt (screenshots, call logs, messages), you can send a legal warning notice through a lawyer for harassment once you have enough evidence. Don’t argue with them, only respond in writing, very formally and briefly if needed. Stay calm and firm. Acting emotional or defensive will only make the greedy parties think they can pressure you more. If it gets serious, you can file a police complaint for harassment or intimidation via a lawyer.

                Yes, al documents are legal and went to proper procedure. My cousin is supporting his father-in-law they have influenced him a lot and he is now against us. Thinking about future, they might go to court cause the police officer told them the their case is nonsense and they told my family that “they know how can we get that land from you”. We are expecting that they will bring this to the court and there will be hearings…. which will take longer. If this goes to court, will the taksim get void?

                    Since the Taksim (division) was done through proper legal procedures and documents, it is valid and binding. Once registered or notarised, it carries full legal weight. Courts respect finalised, lawful agreements unless there is proof of fraud, forgery, coercion, or major procedural mistakes. Just because someone files a case doesn’t mean the Taksim becomes void. Filing a court case is easy winning it is very hard, especially when the documents are strong. Saying β€œwe know how to get the land” is just emotional blackmail. Keep all these harassment and blackmailing documented and record your conversation, speak to a lawyer and prepare your case upfront.

                        We are keeping all proofs as we can, we are so fed up of them. They want to keep the land, they didn’t even worked for it especially the father-in-law who is so greedy. We will be conversing with a lawyer tomorrow, thanks so much for your insights!

                            No worries bud, and all the best – I can understand the frustration, been through a similar journey myself, but have faith in the judiciary.

                                I have faith bud, its just the frustration, sleepless night they are causing, my mom is not young to handle stress. It hurts to see my dad’s hardwork in that lands going to someone else and we still divided equally but these greedy people wants more. Insane.
