Land Ownership Dispute Resolution

Summary

A land ownership dispute in California involves tribal claims and family inheritance. Signing for a right of way suggests some control but not definitive ownership. Ownership is typically proven through deeds or title documents. Selling land without ownership can lead to void sales and legal consequences. Consulting a property or tribal law attorney is advisable for personalized guidance. Consider connecting with a local lawyer, possibly on a contingency basis, for assistance.

What happens when someone sells a piece of land that isn't theirs to sell
When someone sells a piece of land that isn't theirs, it can lead to legal consequences such as:
- The sale may be considered void, meaning it has no legal effect.
- The seller could face charges of fraud or misrepresentation.
- The buyer may need to seek legal action to recover any money paid.
In your situation, it would be essential to verify the ownership rights and possibly consult a lawyer specializing in property or tribal law. If you need more specific guidance, let me know.

Signing for a right of way does not necessarily prove ownership of the land. It typically grants permission for a road or path to pass through the property. Ownership is usually proven through deeds or title documents. It might be helpful to consult with a property or tribal law attorney familiar with your specific situation.

Yes but the only person who can sign for a right away in California is a land owner
