There were six parties (sisters) who inherited a plot of land from their mother after her death through inventory proceedings in civil court. The six parties prepared a plan of sub-division and picked lots to decide the allotment of plots. All six parties then signed the original plan of mutual sub-division as shown below:
|
Plot No. |
Name |
Sign. |
| B | Vera | signature |
| C | Rene | signature |
| D | Luiza | signature |
| E | Cintia | signature |
| F | Silvia | signature |
| G | Vina | signature |
All parties accepted the sub-division in good faith and have been in posession of their officially undivided plots for the last 8 years.
Presently, one of the parties has applied for partition of her plot. on receving notices, Three of the other parties have raised objections and have stated that the sub-division was discussed and signed at home and as such the plan has no validity in court.
I want to know, does the document showing sub-division of plots (plan) and the signatures of persons consenting to the sub-division have value? Can it be produced ion support of the party seeking partition?
Pls. offer advise?
