My family inherited a piece of land with an old, unused well built around 70 years ago, shared with our neighbour. We bought a portion of the land from them years ago, but the well wasn’t mentioned in the papers. Now, I want to build my own home, but closing the well that falls within my property is causing a dispute with my neighbour. I desperately need to build my first home and time is of the essence. What are my options to resolve this issue?

The ownership of the well, despite not being explicitly mentioned in the property documents, might be implied due to its long-standing shared usage. Consult a lawyer to explore options like an amicable agreement with your neighbour, or seeking legal recourse to establish ownership and usage rights of the well. Timely legal intervention is crucial for a swift resolution.
