I don’t do real estate law. A friend is in the following situation- my question- is it worth her hiring a real estate attorney to unwind this? Or is this just one of those hopeless situations? Any thoughts?</p>
</div>
<div>
<div>

<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">
A owned two adjacent parcels of land. One was a usual size and the other small/oddly shaped/on a crazy slope. </p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">
A sold the larger property to my friend, who lives there with her family in a nice home.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">
A died. A bequeathed the small, weird, adjacent lot to her grandson, who is in and out of prison, and is pretty crazy. He sometimes camps on the land and leaves it littered with liquor bottles, etc. He is very hostile to the neighbors, including my friend. </p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">
My friend wants to buy the adjacent lot from the grandson. She thinks it is unbuildable for him anyway, and I think she would like to be rid of the constant fear that the grandson will show up and cause problems.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">
The crazy grandson has thus far refused to sell to my friend, maintaining that he hates them AND that the lot is buildable/worth a lot of money. </p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">
My friend has attempted to approach the grandson in a variety of ways to see if she can change his mind. She has been creative and smart, but unsuccessful.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">

</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">
Is there any legal solution to this? I told her that in my common sense opinion, if the grandson wants to keep it, there isn’t much you can do short of attempting to obtain the land via adverse possession...</p>
