To protect your investment, thorough due diligence into the family tree of landowners claiming legal rights is highly advisable for buyers. This can involve verifying land records, and family documents, and seeking legal counsel before finalizing the purchase. Remember, even seemingly minor ownership claims can lead to legal disputes later.
