Do you have surveyors that go out and find the corners and bounderies of land you buy?
I am wondering if in a country with such a long history the ownership records are all intact and agreed upon.
There has been a fair amount of debate on these matters around here.
Some times there are disputes. So neighbours, witnesses and it is not uncommon people just taking over the land and waiting 20 years to claim it legally.
Amongst other things, people are dying... fast. Heirs have gone to the cities or even abroad. Grandchildren don't know their own land... many times they haven't even set foot on it, ever...
There are many marks on the ground, mostly stacked stones at the corners of the properties. many times you can only see them after a fire.
