I purchased a piece of land 20 years ago after engaging a lawyer to verify if the right ownership is in place. After getting a green signal from the lawayer bought the land. 10 years ago I sold the land. The land originally belonged to 4 brothers & sisters. The sale was made a third person who had power of attorney. The piece of land I bought was part of big parcel of land which was divided and sold by the person with power of attorney.
Now I received a notice from an advocate claimig to be representing the wife & daughters of one of the brothers of the original owning family. This brother, believe, died before the sale of the land was made. The notice says that wife & daughters approached their husband/father's family to get into partition deed but the other brothers&sisters evaded.
The lawyer notice is asking me to "execute the cancellation of the sale deed" which was registered 20 years ago (that is my purchase). Considering that I sold the land (mine is just a piece of big parcel of land the original family sold) 10 years ago, is this lawyer notice valid? Am I legally liable?
I will greatly appreciate any professional opinion on this.
Thanks
Raj
