Quick Summary

This discussion explores the potential to claim ownership of government land acquired by a grandfather between 1940-1945. Despite applications being rejected and tax payments ceasing, the advice suggests that claiming such land might be difficult due to potential illegality or the 'enemy property' classification. A claim would likely need to have been made by 1978, and more facts are needed to provide definitive guidance.
