Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia
fighting Adverse possession of property left in will
My wife was left property by her father, which he tied to a Trust. After his death, her cousin laid claim to a portion of it by adverse possession. He claimed his father had built a dock on the property over 30 years ago and maintained it for years. There is no evidence of a dock. The property line was maintained by her father until his death, all the way to the State protected marsh. The Trustees of her father's Estate, a local bank, hired a law firm to contest the claim against the property but failed to convince a Special Master that this was a rediculous claim. The Special Master gave the cousin the property.
Question: Does my wife have a case against the Trustee of the Estate, the Bank, or the law firm they hired?
Question: Is there any legal recourse such as reopening the case or taking it to a higher court?
Simply put: A man left his daughter some property. Someone stole part of it by pergering himself in a court of law.
Is there any legal recourse?
