Hi all - my husband and I, we were supposed to inherit for sure a farm (there were no other heirs). Isn’t it correct these things below? Help us with the truth about such a matter please. See below. - an owner of a farm can not do certain things. He would go against himself for future luck in future lives should he for instance give the farm to a relative of the heir. Or sell off land to just anyone. Without at least the agreement of the heir (in this case an only daughter)? - an heir should make clear that he or she wants to get out of the agreement to inherit should he or she make a trouble against the so called ”farmers code of honour”? (This did not happen and was never even a topic for discussion. The heir was past 50 years old when the second parent and only owner of the farm [the parents had different wills so to speak as the first parent who was not a co-owner had a family from before. There was a legal document for that.} passed away a little over two years ago.) - the associations and organizations that are upkeepers of the law for inheritance of farms should keep an eye on these matters and open a debate, as soon as the estate papers after the dead are handed in. - it is common that people who are not made indeed heirs who were heirs have a loss in income and status in the society where they live. And even elsewhere? Thanks. Have a wonderful day! Best Jane Jarmo
What can we do now? We need a settlement fee from someone. Not least the bank that divided the money in two payments on two different years, and the same office had treated us badly before. The farmer that died had a farmers’ upkeep organization as bookkeepers and when that farmer made a will for half our money to her four friends (nearest perhaps as we had never heard of them being friends to her) that organization guaranteed her sanity in a piece of paper. The organization had a lady (we don’t know her) that made the estate will to hand in to the tax authority so that we could proceed with the inheritance. They never fieled a complaint on our behalf anywhere. We don’t know why because they always seemed trustworthy up until now. We had to sign a document that we agreed with what was written in the estate will that was handed to the tax authority. The process took forever by the way. It is common in that country for that to take a long time. There was no line in any document where we could complain either, and now a tax authority employee has been almost scary with how they want to know should we have inherited a business with her bookkeeping and all. Had we had income, she wants to know again and again. She did not listen to the truth ever we believe. We flew to Paris as a lot of distressed heirs have done before in history to go to a bank there and perhaps start filing an official complaint. However we started to forget why we were there, except for the visit to the bank (in Nice) and the lady we hired to translate our documents suddenly did not feel like doing that translation and even sent our money in return. Quite a sum for us. Then we moved the matter in the bank to a head office elsewhere in the same region and it was finalized there. All the accounts are to our greatest knowledge broken up and there is no more money there now. Unfortunately the other owners - that came from that will (the dead person’s friend) insisted on paying tax. Anything to do?
Can we win so that we can have our farm with all the farm land we grew up knowing we would inherit one day? The dead parent insisted in those early days by the way and we set all the rules for years so that we could not change anything. No new rule, was a motto we used. A lawyer in Sweden told us there was a risk we would have to go without getting the farm (even of it sounds ludicrulous) and then pay to the lawyer of our half sibling. It could be a lot of money then even. //Jane Jarmo
In case owner died intestate ie without a will his daughter would be legal heir
2) in event deceased father left a will land would devolve on his beneficiary as per will
3) during his lifetime father was at liberty to sell land without consent of other legal heirs
Can we start filing documents on this with someone? Who? What documents? How can we win?
It is necessary to peruse the will to advice
if you feel deceased was not mentally fit you can challenge the will
you have to prove deceased was not mentally fit
You need to contact a local lawyer where the land is situated
only after perusal of will and other documents can we guide you whether you can win or not
Contact a local lawyer
1. if the owner died before making a will, the daughter would be the legal heir.
2. in case a will had been drafted, the respective property would go to the beneficiary mentioned in the will.
3. whenever the owner was alive, he could have sold it without anybody's consent.
4. it is advisable to contact a lawyer, who can verify the documents and will, help you proceed further.
Thank You

- Further, if there is WILL , then the beneficiary can claims respective right
- Further , this WILL can be challenged from the court of law , in case of dispute .
- Better to contact a local lawyer for sound suggestion .
Firstly understand the meaning of inheritance which is given below before going into your question:
Inheritance is the practice of transferring property, titles, debts, rights, and obligations to the legal heir of a person upon the death of that person either by way of 'Will' or through the prevalent laws of succession
Therefore to your question:
The legal heirs of the deceased owner are entitled to inherit the property as successors in interest in the manner known to law.
If the eligible legal heirs of the deceased are deprived of their rights then they can approach a proper court of law with a lawsuit making a claim to inherit the property and for possession of the same as per prevailing law of the land.
Your query pertains to the law of that country probably Egypt.
It would be better that you engage the services of an attorney in Egypt to know more better about the law inheritance prevailing in Egypt and get all your doubts clarified by producing all the relevant papers/documents in your possession and can get a relief through Egyptian court of law if at all you are entitled for any relief as per your contention.
If your Sweden lawyer had advised you based on the Swedish ;laws especially without having a knowledge about the law of the land where this farm land situates, you may better ignore his opinion/advise and consult a lawyer of that country and proceed as suggested by that lawyer.
What are the documents you possess?
If you possess document to prove your rights in the proeprty as well as for continuous possession and enjoyment of the property , you may ask your lawyer that if these would be sufficient or you may procure the additional documents that might be sought by the attorney for this purpose.

1. The title holder of a property can deal with his property in any way he feels like and his future legal heirs (after his demise) can lay no claim on it during his lifetime.
2. There need not be an agreement to be legal heir. The Statute determines the legal heirs after the demise of the owner.
3. The question of legal heir of a person arises after his demise. Till he dies he is entitled to deal with his properties any legal way he feels like.
4. As per Muslim Law, there are restrictions in case of gifting of properties which shall have to be as per Sharia.
1. File a declaratory Suit praying for the declaration that you are the legal heir of the owner, since deceased.
2.Omce you are declared the legal heir and the present owner, your problem gets solved.
3. Engage a local lawyer to pursue your case.
1. Yes, there is the risk involved in incurring huge expenditure on this account.
2. Examine all the angled before you proceed on the matter legally.
You can go directly as per the paper work of deceased person that how the land were acquired and later on transferred to current owner's name and on what condition the land get transfer easily on the organization name.
Who is the lady handling the organization without legal heirs permission (If you are the legal heirs.) Can you forward the history of deceased Family members tree.
And the Farm land details, pre and post agreement of deceased person, and the organization, his four friends and the lady details.
If you are the legal heirs of the deceased owner of the farm land then sure you can win the case.
Kindly do let me now the case stand in which city of the country and property too.
