My families problem with a property is Sao Miguel is just the opposite. The
property is connected to 3 or 4 other homes. They are on the waterfront. The
front of the property faces the street and the back is the ocean with no
windows to view it! It was my grandfathers since 1920. My grandparents had
never been back. After my grandfather died in 1958, my grandmother tried
selling it. People live in it....still. My father and his siblings tried
selling it 3 times since my grandmother died. No luck. No matter what they do
or what papers they provide, they cannot get the powers that be to remove their
names from the title. My aunt even went back there last year. She took pictures
and talked with the family in the house. They want to live there and stay there
but we can't get the title transferred. They tried saying it was a gift. To us
the property looks in disrepair and not worth anything. We don't understand the
problem with the title. Maybe they have different rules or ways of looking at
it. As our family sees it. Since 1920 somebody or many people have had free
housing. None of us are bothered by that. We are bothered by the fact that the
title is still in our family name. What happens if someone gets hurt or they
want to tear it down at the owners expense? Will our family still be held
liable after all these years? Or are they not sue happy and land scheme happy
like some people in the U.S. ?

grandmother died my cousin got a lawyer to look into the property and
was told that the property was worthless.
When she asked me to look into the property a few years ago. The
