Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey
My father and his siblings (6) wear heirs of over 80 acres of land whcih includes a house. This property once belong to my grand parents...they are deceased. My dad and 4 siblings are now deceased. We always knew that our names were on the land because my uncle (now deceased) about 11yrs ago he mailed my mom, 3 siblings and I a check for $1300 to share....he said it was because he sold some property. I always told my immediate family that we're being cheated out of $ because I was told that my uncle was receiving checks throughout the year for farming proceeds. My aunt is now taking over and the cycle is going to continue. Our names are on the property and I would let recieve what I'm entitled to...how can we go about legally receiving what were entitled to?? Thanks..........The niece

If you can get a copy of the Deed to the property, and you dad's Will, I will meet with you and go over your situation. I will explain what legal issues I see, and what I can do to assist you. I will also give you my best estimate of the cost for attorney's fees.
This will be a free consultation. After we talk, you can decide what you would like to do.
Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.

Please keep in mind that my response is just a general comment on your question, and not legal advice. I have answered based upon the law of the State of New Jersey where I practice; the laws in other states may be very different, and may result in very different outcomes. Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. The exact details of your situation and things that you have not mentioned in your question can completely change the response I gave. You can not rely upon what I have written as legal advice, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you, I only have the very small amount of information that you put into your question. To get legal advice that you can rely on and use, please contact me directly.
I agree with Robert that you need to provide the Deed and Will for review as well as any correspondence and possible tax returns. It appears that there is some sort of family partnership (actual or possible by the common ownership) that might be involved in some income-producing venture (perhaps farming) and, as such, there should be tax returns. As a member of the "partnership" you are entitled to see and receive copies of these returns. If you are not satisfied by what is given you, if you are actually named in the Deed for this operation, you can bring suit to compel an accounting by whomever is operating the business for the family. This is a response to an Internet question and the reply is based upon the facts presented, which might not be complete to provide a proper reply and different facts might produce a different reply. This reply is not intended to be legal advice or to create an attorney-client relationship.
