Chapter 896
“Yes” Celeste frowned, “That’s Shawn Campbell’s younger brother, my uncle, Are they still living there?”
Mason quickly picked up on the key word in her question, “You said ‘still’, does that mean they previously lived there?”
Celeste nodded.
“When Daniel’s kids came to town for school and didn’t have a place to stay, my mom gave them the keys to the old house. She said the house would fall apart if no one lived in it, and since we’re all family, we should help each other. So, my mom let them live there.
Counting from my second year of junior high, it’s been about eleven or twelve years now Their family’s situation has improved a lot over the years. They bought a house in the city a few years ago, and i even attended their housewarming party I thought they had moved out already” Mason said in a deep voice, “They didn’t just stay, do you know that the backyard of that house has now become a kindergarten?”
Celeste was taken aback, “I remember that the backyard was just an open space, with no house”
The land owned by Celeste’s grandfather was very large, spanning several thousand square meters. Although the house was not large, the yard
was expansive
According to Caitlyn, the land was originally owned by the grandfather and his two brothers, but after the two brothers joined the army, there was no further news from them. The grandfather built a wall around the land to prevent it from being occupied by others.
On the large open space, there were only two small houses which were used to store the grandfather’s gardening tools and fertilizers How could it become a kindergarten?
“Of course, an open space can’t become a kindergarten, but there are now buildings constructed on it, and after renovation, the neighbors said that this kindergarten has been there for at least four or five years.”
Celeste tumed pale, “You mean they built a house there and opened a kindergarten?”
“Whether the kindergarten was opened by them or not, I need to continue investigating,” Mason paused, “Celeste, in all these years, you’ve never been to this house?”
Celeste shook her head with a grim expression, “The house is quite a distance from the city, my grandfather passed away early, and I have hardly ever been to that house I was not clear about the ownership of the house then either. It was always my mother who dealt with it. After she had an accident, I forgot about this house. It was only when I was sorting out her belongings that I found out she owned property and vehicles.”
Celeste paused. “So what should we do now? Is there a way to get them to move out immediately?”
Mason said, “You just said that two–thirds of this land belonged to your grandfather’s two younger brothers, both of whom have no family, right?”
Celeste nodded.
“Then you are their only heir, and that two–thirds of the land has nothing to do with Shawn. The other one–third, both you and Shawn have the right to use, so your dispute with Shawn only involves this one–third of the land. As long as you have the proof of ownership, you can definitely ask them to leave.”
Celeste was surprised, “No need to go to court?”
Mason nodded.
But before Celeste could rejoice, Mason began to advise again.
“However, don’t celebrate too early. I’ve dealt with a lot of property disputes before. These types of cases are not difficult to handle, as long as there is sufficient evidence, the issue of land ownership is very clear. But these cases are often the ones that lawyers are reluctant to take on.”
“Why?”
“Because even if you win the case, you may not be able to get your house back. People are always greedy. They’ve lived in this house for more than a decade, occupying thousands of square meters of land. Who wouldn’t want to own it? Although the court’s ruling is simple, implementation is very difficult”
Celeste thought of her aunt’s fierce and unreasonable attitude, which made her feel a headache and annoyed, but she was still very confident “Fine, as long as the law says it’s mine, I’ll find a way to get it back. If I really can’t get it back, I won’t let the person who illegally occupies it get away with it”
Seeing her fighting spirit, Mason suddenly laughed. “I will help you reclaim this house.”
Celeste laughed, “I’ve already received my acting fee, so I can pay you even more lawyer fees this time.”
“How much?”
“Um… probably six figures.”
Mason nodded, “Not bad, that’s enough to support me.”
Celeste took it as a joke and laughed, “Supporting you is really expensive.”
Mason laughed softly, “You could also choose to buy me for zero dollars, I wouldn’t mind.”
