This matter is regarding to a property where I have been living since 1972
This property was built by my Mothers Brother (will call him Joe) in 1964 and he was a bachelor, he died a Bachelor in 1982 and unfortunately did not make any Will regarding the property

My mother’s side consisted of 3 Brothers (Mike, Joe & Pat) & 5 Sisters (Jay, Mar, Eliz, SrA, Mel, & Emil (and none of them are alive today)

The entire property which has 2 separate ground floor units was rented out by my uncle Joe until 1972,

Emil’s Family (My Mother) moved in to a part of the Ground floor unit around the year 1971 & then Joe constructed a further First floor in 1972,
Emil’s Family moved in to the entire first floor portion has been living in the first floor since then

Later Pat’s Second wife & family along with Pat moved into the ground floor unit where Emil was living earlier.

In 1982 when Joe passed away with out making any Will or Deed regarding the Property

All the Brothers & Sisters of Joe who were alive at that time had a discussion and decided that Pat will collect the rent for the remaining unit of the Ground floor & Emil had no objection in this regard

After some Months another Sisters of Joe (SrA) passed away
At this point there were only Mike, Pat, Emil & Mel who were alive

The remaining Brothers & Sister of Joe decided that it would be good to have some legal papers regarding the property, and went in to create something in the line of a GPA,
However in the document my Mothers name (Emil) was not included as one of the GPA and my mother insisted that her name be included, as she felt insecure since the document mentioned that Mel & Mike will be the people who will have the GPA over the property

A case was file against Emil by the rest & after a some years of legal battle the case was dismissed & no one took any interest regarding the property

Now after some years non of Joe’s Brothers or sisters are alive (Mike, Pat, Emil & Mel all passed away)

The house tax is still being paid in the name of Joe & there are no legal documents regarding the property

I & my Younger Sister are still living in the First floor
Pats family is living in the Ground floor and collecting Rent

After the death of Joe’s Brothers & sisters ,Pats elder Son started to claim that he is the Owner of the Property and created serious problems to his Mother & Brother and as a result Pats Mother & Younger Son moved to another house

Of late Pats elder Son claims that he is the Owner of the Property & has been getting drunk with Alcohol & behaving violently and has threatened to kill my sister & my Family

Last month Pats Son started to behave very violently and we called the Police Station & the Night patrol Police took him to the station & kept him there for a while and we filled a form at the police station stating the matter about his misbehavior, and later that night the younger son of Pat asked us not to file a case against his elder brother, So we had a compromise with an understanding that we will not be distributed or troubled in future

Recently Pat Elder sons Wife & Children has moved out of the House at the Moment as he has been beating his wife & Children under the influence of alcohol.

1. I would need advice on how I will be in better position to safe guard my family & myself as I return home late in the Night after my work and feel threatened and the necessary steps or precaution that I need to take incase anything happens for the WORST.

2. How I would be able to bring an end to this Property matter, without getting into any kind of misunderstanding with the rest of the share holders

3. Who would be the Right people that I would need to approach
4. Where & what kind of legal information I would need to refer to get a more better understanding of my current situation
