She often told me that the place would be mine someday and asked me to stay on to keep it going. When her Will was read, I discovered she had left the property to a distant cousin who visited occasionally but was not involved in the running of the land. He has now told me that he intends to sell the property and wants me to vacate within the next few months. In situations involving land, one option that may arise is a claim based on Proprietary Estoppel. A consultation with a solicitor experienced in this area will help you understand the strengths of any potential claim and ensure that all time limits are met.
