My father inherited land in 1975, after a legal division of property from his siblings and mother. He sold most of it between 1993 and 1999, and the remaining portion was transferred to my mother in 2004. We’re now planning to sell this remaining land, but my father’s niece has filed a claim, stating the property should be shared with her. She claims the land was sold on behalf of her father, but has no documents to support this. She’s presented a family tree and obtained a temporary restraining order against the sale. What steps can we take to defend ourselves and ensure the case is dismissed?

Your father’s niece needs to prove her claim with concrete evidence, including documents showing her father’s ownership or an agreement for the land to be held for his benefit. Since she lacks these documents, her claim is weak. You can file a counter-claim, provide proof of your father’s ownership and the legal transfer to your mother, and seek to have the restraining order lifted.
