Thirty years ago my brother and I were in business together and bought two pieces of land. I built a bungalow on the smaller plot and the plan was for my brother to build on part of the other plot, with us sharing the remainder. I have now suggested we divide up the land as originally intended, but my brother refuses. What’s my position?
It depends how the land was bought in the first place. If it was purchased out of profits from your joint business you may be able to ask him to compensate you for taking more out of the business than you did. I would need to see the title deeds to the plots of land and know more about your business partnership in order to give you a better idea of where you stand.
