Hi esteemed Wazuans, I am not so good at starting threads but I think this one will suffice. I have entered into an agreement to purchase a piece of land which already has a caution by a sister of the seller. The sister is married and in a stable family union. She claims she needs a share of her father's(deceased) property although the succession was done almost 10 years ago using due process and there was no objection then! There are three more sisters who are said to be in agreement with the caveator.
The succession administration was done by the widow of the seller's brother. The widow later on sold her share and bought another piece elsewhere.
The sister is claiming "licencee interest" in the caution and she has paid 2,000/= in the Land Registrar's office so that a committee is constituted to listen to the parties and make recommendations.
My immediate intended action is to have my piece demarcated and move in before we start any litigation. I'm sure there are similar cases which have been determined but my search in KenyaLawReports didn't yield any appropriate result.
What else should I do? Kindly help a Wazua in need.
The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.
