I am posting under a different name than usual but here is my problem. My dad and uncle are dividing the farm in half between them and my uncle is making it somewhat troublesome. My uncle says he wants my grandpas farmall. The tractor was given to me by my grandpa around 1996 (I repainted it for pappa in 1992). There was nothing formal just a big thank you and a promise to take care of it and he was in his right mind when he gave it to me(He passed away one month before my first son was born in 2005).It has been kept at I or my dads house since I repainted it in 1992. Now that the farm is being divided my uncle says he never new it was given to me. Even though he has watched me put $2000 and I can't even count the thousands of hours of bringing the tractor back to as close to original as I can do, all of the work and parts were bought after it was given to me. Everyone else in the family knows its mine but how do I prove it if things would go to court. All of my implements the plow, disc, cultivators, and mowing machine are still on the side of the farm that will be my uncles. Right now the farm is still in my dad and uncles name but if I go to get my stuff and he says I'm stealing and would call the police how can I prove its mine? What should I do? I'm not one to be a trouble maker and neither is my father but my uncle sure can be. Any advice will sure help. Sorry to tell everyone my problems. This tractor means a lot me, I and my grandpa spent a lot of years doing things together with it.
