Answer 1

Honestly, I don't know what jurisdiction you are in so I cannot answer that. Where are you? Also, there are several other things that bear on this problem. I suggest that you speak with an attorney ASAP.

Answer 2

What you should do is call the county clerks office and check to see how the deed was filed when your aunt gave your mother and her sister the 5.27 acres each.

If it was a gift then there should be deeds for each of the 5.27 acres.

Next ask the clerk where you can check if it is true that either party could sign a deed over without the other persons consent.

I do not see how your neighbor can claim something that is not on his deed with your cousin.

The county clerk of your town or city will be able to answer these questions for you.

You should also contact the senior citizen office in your state or county and they will be able to help you as well.

Answer 3

deed being in uncles name is not belonging to neighbor ! ?
do not understand how can claim .
deeds have copies .
you are entitled to review the evidence being presented.whether you are represented or not.
if you are SS disabled .SS may grant you a Representative.
best to get copies as far back as possible.
as for boundaries lines that is another cost if marks are undisclosed in present standings.
