Hello Nancy! Thank you
There is basically a legal entity (sort of like an LLC) that owns the property, it is called a "sociedad anónima" or S.A. in Costa Rica.
This entity was created with the sole purpose of being registered as the owner of the land, it's something that people used to do in CR because it had certain advantages over the normal ownership by a physical person.
The natural heirs to the land are a couple of brothers who many years ago went to my father for his legal services. My father was the lawyer who formalized this ownership into the Costa Rican archives, so as a form of payment they gave him a percentage of the shares in the S.A. (legal entity)
The decision to sell it and the price were decided by the entire board of directors of the S.A., which includes those brothers and my mother (as a representative of my whole family since my father passed away).
The only shared used agreements as of this moment concern the rental of space for agriculture. There is a man who farms the land and periodically pays some rent money, and it has been agreed that this income shall be used to pay property taxes and other maintenance expenses.
But neither the brothers nor any member of my family is actually using the land for anything other than that. Mainly because we don't get along with them at all, but everyone agrees that the land must be sold.
So that's the situation.
I deem it really important that it's sold to someone who will take care of nature in there, so a permaculturist would be ideal.
And at the same time it would mean a great deal to me personally because it would enable me to buy some land of my own and start a permaculture project, which I have been dreaming about for some years already.
.. to avoid damaging my soil. And then when I have payed my debt I can shift away from being a host and do my thing, having more certainty of what actually goes into the water.
