Good day. My grandfather bought a portion of land which did not have a road going in and out so he asked his cousin that he will pay for a portion of land beside his for road right of way. He agreed and gave a portion of his lot which is located of the left most side of his lot. His cousin's daughter was the one who knew and could confirm of the said transaction because she was the one withdrawing the payment which was made in an installment basis to pay for her education during that time. Now both my grandfather and his cousin has passed away. One of his cousin's children lived beside our grandfather's lot (it was inherited by my father) and that son of his built a concrete wall to dividing our lots. Only now did we discovered during a survey of the lot that the road right of way that my grandfather's cousin gave us was partly not his but most of the part of the said lot is owned by the landowner beside his lot. According to the survey only one meter of his lot was shown to be ours and the remaining 3 meters was owned by the neighboring lot. There is already a concrete wall built and the owner is already starting to build a building right beside the concrete wall. What do we do if the neighboring lot owner discovers this and claim their lot?
