land 600 arces

three nephews went to the second uncle to tell him that the farm was to be left in the surname of the main family I.e. Down--- which was according to the will of the first uncle (he died about 8 years before this happen ) the 3 brothers agree on look after the second uncle up till he died they promise to pay for all the service bills to the farm Ie;rates ,tax’s and some general maintained around the house he lived in was also promised but this only happen for the first 6 to 8 months then they stoped the uncle did not know what to do so he left it in hoping they would come back and help in the end but they did not .
now the agreement was for geting the farm they promised to pay to the sister money when the uncle died the amount in questioned because we were told about 120000 to 150000 the farm at the time had a value of 175000 now we have only all this verbal we believe the could be some of the information written down some way we have not look yet /
question to ask can the nephews be held accountable for one not keeping the promise and be force to pay the money to the sister or can the sister take this to court and hoping to see if the farm is divide up equal between them because the farm value is about 600 000 to 700 000 so why should the sister miss out on the farm just because she does not have the main family name she got married

Agreements as to land are only valid when in writing, if that is what you are asking. Not sure we quite follow.

no there is no writen agreement on the transfer of the land it was just changed between the uncle and the nephews and there has been no money transfered to pay for the land which they agree to do

the land was to be purchased at $120000
the land was transfered before the money changed hands because of so called trust with in the family.
it has now come to light 7 years down the track the monies was never transfered but the land has gone up in value 300 TO 400 % in value thus the money that owed should that go up the same %

Normally the land ownership will be governed by the written agreements or deeds in place and no other agreement has effect.

--but have a lawyer look over the documents and explain the situation to him--see what other options may exist.

hi by the looks the nephews have got this and with out any money transfer to the uncle
the has been no written proof to say the have to pay it is just spoken in a meeting with uncle and nephews they just said to him they would put money in to his account but they did not the land was signed over .
