Hello, I read about the difficult situation you are in regarding your properties and the unfortunate passing of your legal representative. I believe I can guide you on how to resolve these matters. First, it is important to know that a power of attorney automatically expires upon the death of the person to whom it was granted. Since you, the principal, are still alive, your ownership rights remain fully intact. The passing of your representative simply means they can no longer act on your behalf, but you have not lost any control over your assets. Here is how you can investigate the details you need: Present Ownership Details: You can determine the current ownership of the land and house by contacting the relevant government authority where the property is located. This is typically a Land Registry Office, County Recorder's Office, or an Assessor's Office. Having the lot numbers and other land descriptions will be extremely helpful in this process, as these offices can search their records to provide you with official ownership documents. Land Use Status: To check the status of the change of use permit (from agricultural to building), you will need to contact the local municipal government's Planning or Zoning Department. They maintain records of all permits and can inform you whether the permit is still valid or if it has expired. How I Can Help Further. While I cannot conduct the investigation for you directly, I can provide you with detailed, step-by-step guidance through this process at a low cost. If you provide the specific location of the properties (country, state/province, and city/county), I can help you: Identify the exact government departments you need to contact. Find their websites and contact information. Guide you on how to use their online portals or what forms you may need.
