Had a first cousin sell 75 acres of prime deer hunting land to a stranger. It adjoins a lager 200 acre family tract. When confronted he lied about and said he offered it to us, he did not. We would have paid him more than he got for it.

I don't understand Who owns the 2 acres?

There is possibility this land is owned by more than one person. When my uncle wanted to keep my grandparent’s house he was forced to pay each sibling their share of the house. Talk to a lawyer. I’d bet she owes you money if she wants to own the property outright. It doesn’t get you your labor back, but maybe you are partially compensated.

Who owns the 2 acres


It was my Great Grandfthers

Who gave it to my Grandfather.

Who gave it to my dad. (Who is passed in 2014)

Now in the ownership of stepmother, who now has put it in her will it goes to her daughters..

But no one sure told me that when I was bulldozing brush, building ponds and cleaning up these past 25 years.

The only way I can even describe my feelings is just imagine you paid child support for 20 years, only to be told in the end the child wasn't yours at all.

Very sick today.. But at least I now know the truth.

I will pray about it and I know God will give the right answers..

Just posting because I just need someone to talk to.. I know the OT is the right place for that.

That is absolutely awful. No way to reason with your stepsister?

So it's your father's fault. Why didn't he have a will granting ownership to you upon his death?

All you can do is live your life the right way. You can control what you do. Just focus on that for right now. This whole thing is bullshite. Not to disrespect to your dad, but he was fooled as well.

Your step mom has a grudge against you for some reason.

Yep, maybe he was too trusting? When it’s comes to women they will 100% put their kids in front of any man.

Ask any woman to choose you over her kids(even adult ones). Even if they are your kids. You will lose and men still don’t understand that.

So two commons scenarios here:

Your dad left everything to your stepmother and blocked you out.

Your dad did not have a will. In that case, estate typically goes 50% to wife and 50% split amongst his biological kids.

Which scenario are we looking at?

I’m not a sexist, but all else equal, I wouldn’t trust a woman nearly as much as a man in a situation like this.

keeping/maintaining is one thing. building a pond on land you dont own is quite another. sorry but handshake is not enough to justify capital improvements

This is a good synopsis. Probably one of these 2.

Except there's a story on this very page where a male first cousin screwed over the family for strangers.

Grudge is probably wrong. Unless not being her daughter counts as a grudge.

Step-parents commonly frick the biological children of the second marriage. There's an expectation of receiving all of the assets from the deceased in many cases. The deceased person is typically mislead by their partner about whether their intentions will be honored.

OP has a very common story

His dad was likely too trusting. WW2collector was likely too trusting. I’ve been guilty of this before. Find out what your options are and learn from it. It still stings to be stabbed in the back though.

All else equal was the important part of my post. There are men that lie and backstab but it’s not a defining characteristic on average. With women, my personal experience is to be less trusting. They have a couple major weaknesses and one is their children.

This ultimately is the only right answer. Find out what your options are if you have any and if it’s worth your time and effort to pursue them.
