My father and his two brothers divided their land 30 years ago, and we’ve been farming according to that division ever since. However, there’s no official record of this partition. Now, one of my cousins thinks the division was unfair and wants to redo it. Is his request valid? Can he go to court to get the land re-divided? We are six cousins in total, and only he is unhappy with the current arrangement. His father has passed away.

While the 30-year-old partition may be considered an informal arrangement, the lack of official record creates legal complications. Your cousin can file a suit for partition, but the court will consider the long-standing possession and the fact that the other cousins have been farming the land without objection. The outcome depends on the strength of your cousin’s claim and the court’s assessment of fairness.
