Yea. As a couple others have mentioned you need to know or find out whether your father left it directly to the stepmom through a will or it passed to her after he died.

If he left it directly to stepmom you pretty much fricked. If it passed to her after his death you definitely own a % of the value. If this is a case get a lawyer if you care at all about receiving your share of the value.

All solved with a will. I've had a will since I was 22, even with no more assets than a little cash, a Lay-Z-Boy and a Ford Ranger.

My will (it's been updated since I was 22) will be updated the week I get remarried, not "when I get around to it" in ten years, which seems to be how most people do it.

That’s on your dad, bud. Should have put that in writing for you.

Once head hits soil, all family loyalties usually go away for some people.

Only truth I see here is that your dad has been dead for 12 years and you have ZERO understanding of the terms of his estate.

You need to get your shite together and get it done quickly.

I've seen this movie way too many times in my life. Lawyer up man. It's about to get even uglier.

I understand what you are saying. When you first find out your reaction is irritation at a minimum. All you can do is learn from it going forward.

Usually what happens is the man that worked his whole life to build up something dies and leaves everything to his wife. Who then favors her own children and writes out the children of the patriarch.

Sucks, but that's how the cookie crumbles.

This is a lesson to all of you. Have a will and be very thorough with it.

Learn from it. Don’t make the same mistake twice. Do an inventory of anything else in your life to make sure your affairs are in order. Rouge talks like my dad, lol. No bullshite detected.

Still sort of confused. So you own all the land around this two acres? If so can’t you just put a fence around the two acres and then they can’t use your land?

I’m on your side here… but it ain’t nothing a lawyer could do in this situation besides trying to recover some of the money for the improvements you made to the land after your Dad died…would have been a good idea to have your Dad “sell” you the property before he passed… or he could have willed it to you but I think his wife would have still had a hand it … tough situation

Sorry to hear. Consider putting up a fence so your step sister cannot see the pond. LOL

I was actually allocating my VGLI and mandating that a portion be given to throw a party which certain people had to attend, another chunk for food for Mike The Tiger, who got my computer equipment, and the Lay Z Boy, etc. It's funny how I thought that was a lot of money back then. But I'm also the guy that has scanned copies of my water bills from 15 years ago, so I'm odd.

I wonder if so many people that should know better don't have wills, because all they have is loans on the "stuff they own" (boats, 4 wheelers, etc.)

If your father died intestate and he had made no prior conveyance to his spouse (your stepmother), then his spouse and his children (both natural AND adoptive) inherit the property as co-owners by operation of law. Have you ever checked ownership in your county’s records office. Who’s been paying the property taxes? Did your father adopt your step sister? Have you built any structures or improvements on the land? There are a ton of other questions as well. You need to consult an attorney. Soon.

You’re emotional and not thinking soundly.

1. Check the will
2. If it was left to your Step Mom offer to buy the land. For all you know, she needs money or doesn’t care about the land at all. It’s hers to do with what she wants.
3. If she passes and it’s left to her kids (assuming plural) offer to buy it. If there’s more than one inheritor, someone will want money. Force the person that wants it, to pay off the siblings and secure the money to build a house. Again, I’m assuming that someone actually wants the property. In my experience while someone’s alive people put up a front about what they want thinking they’re going to end up with more of an inheritance. When the dust settles all they want is money.

I would be be nice to them and see where it goes
