What is the name of your state? Oklahoma
My grandfather inherited 12 Acres of land in NW Oklahoma from his father. He was born on this land, his father's original farm. A rich Oil man from Oklahoma put up a fence encompassing this land. The fence was in place "he says" for 17 years. My grandparents lived in Kansas up until a month ago and were not able to keep checking on the land. My grandfather took down the fence 5 years ago, then a year ago, then again about a month ago when they moved to Oklahoma. He has now been served with a lawsuit from this man who is trying to claim the land as abandoned. The taxes are kept current every year and he doesnt want to sell. This man has offered to buy the land over the last 20 years and since my grandfather doesnt want to sell, he said he will fight them in court "from now until doomsday and take every cent they own and will still get the land." What are the laws concerning this matter? And what should they do to prepare for court? Thanks for the input on this, it is greatly appreciated! Crystal
