What is the name of your state? PA.
I own an "undivided 1/3 interest" in 90 acres of farm property, with 2 other "tenants in common." We've had a hostile relationship for the past 5 years, and they are sueing me over a right-of-way issue to the same property. I would like to mow, pasture horses on, and take hay from 30 acres that is adjacent to my personal 7 acre home site. They do not live near the land and don't seem to care how it looks.. Over the past years, I have approached them 3 times about dividing it, and part of their lawsuit suggests partitioning it, but no agreements are ever made, and none of us really wants to sell it. We have verbally agreed as to which 1/3 we would each want and that doesn't seem to be in dispute. Meanwhile the 1/3 adjacent to me lies uncultivated, unmowed and unused...Could there be any serious ramifications if I put up fence and use it for pasture, hay, and mow it?.....I think ,at the very least, my actions would trigger some reaction on their part, and possibly resolve our dispute sometime in my lifetime......
